Children in ECEAP and Head Start programs learn to manage emotions, build friendships, and follow classroom routines. They also develop early skills in reading, math, and science-laying a strong foundation for success in kindergarten and beyond.
A Parent's Perspective:
"Since my child started in the EPIC program at Mountainview, I've noticed a significant difference in his social-emotional developement, something I had been struggling with at home. He now uses his words to express his feelings and shows emotional regulations. His confidence has grown, he's made friends, and he comes home excited to share what he's learned each day."
