Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC) is the Irvine Unified School District’s district preschool that provides inclusive early education and family services for IUSD preschoolers. Established in 2002, it offers developmentally, culturally and linguistically appropriate opportunities delivered by trained staff.
The Early Childhood Learning Center is a district-run preschool program that serves IUSD preschool-age children and their families through a continuum of inclusive early education services. The program was established to centralize the district’s early childhood offerings and provides instruction and supports designed to promote early learning and school readiness.
Instruction is based on developmentally appropriate practices that target physical, social-emotional, language, literacy and pre-academic skill development. The site implements a school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework with clear behavioral expectations summarized as CUBS: Care for others; Use language; Build friendships; Stay safe.
Families are encouraged to be active partners in their child’s education through volunteer opportunities, parent education resources, and an active Parent Teacher Association. The center provides supplies for student learning and offers parent-focused resources and newsletters.
The site maintains a safe school plan, conducts regular emergency drills, and stores food and emergency supplies on campus. Staff receive training in CPR, first aid, and emergency preparedness, and procedures for student reunification and emergency parent notification are documented for families.
Learning Link is an interactive classroom for parents and their children ages 0-5. Activities are available for parents and children to explore together; professionals are available to answer questions about parenting and child development and to provide community resources and referrals.
