A Note From the Director
This week we made preparations for our Thanksgiving celebrations taking place next week. We talked about all the blessings we have from God and donated our Blizzard Bags to Meals on Wheels. We enjoyed playing outside in the fall weather and practicing Christmas songs for the programs!
If you have leftover Halloween candy we would love for you to donate to ECDC! We use the candy for the children to decorate gingerbread houses in December. (Hard candy such as Starbursts, Skittles, Smarties, suckers, etc. is preferred as chocolate melts and does not work well on the houses.)

ECDC Christmas Programs
What to Wear:
The children have been assigned specific costumes for each class. All costumes are provided by ECDC. Please send your child to school in a WHITE SHIRT and regular uniform bottoms.
We ask that girls refrain from any big bow or headbands as many of the costumes will include headpieces. Please also refrain from any patterned tights or leggings, and follow ECDC shoe guidelines.
Please feel free to reach out to the ECDC office or your child's teacher if you have any questions.
