A Message from the Director of Elmo Early School
Welcome to El Montecito Early School! We are a Christian preschool which has been caring for children since 1958. I am grateful for the opportunity to nurture young children as my staff and I partner with parents in preparing them for Kindergarten.
We lay a solid foundation by providing a loving environment that is content-rich, and offer various options for children to gain knowledge within different styles of learning modalities. We focus our teaching around solid Christian principles coupled with an emphasis on the whole child. The social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual development is encouraged through hands on activities. We strive to empower children to use language as they interact with each other and learn to coexist peacefully in a classroom. We are a collaborative staff of experienced teachers; we use modern methods of communication to relay some amazing happenings within the school so parents have easy access to daily life and events.
We take our role very seriously in providing loving and safe care for the children. Our highly skilled staff upholds the Christian values and ideals which characterize the school.
