2019-2020 Community Events:
Recently firefighters from the El Cerrito Fire Department visited ECPC to talk to our kids about fire safety and give them a tour of a real fire truck.
The children had fun and learned to recognize a firefighter in full gear and face mask as a friend, not a scary monster to hide from (“Don’t I seem like Darth Vader?” joked one firefighter, suited up and breathing noisily through an air tank).
Thanks El Cerrito firefighters!
Please join us for our Spring Open House on Sunday, April 10 from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. This is a great chance for prospective preschoolers and their grownups to check out our amazing grounds and warm community. Parents and children are welcome.
It will be a fun morning for prospective families and a great chance to learn more about the programs and philosophy of our play-based cooperative.

*Got older siblings? There will be messy art activities geared towards older children (such as older siblings of preschoolers attending Messy Art Day) set up on Ashbury Avenue next to ECPC, which will be closed to traffic for the event. Food will be available to purchase.
*Please note: due to space restrictions, we will not be allowing strollers on school grounds. Stroller parking will be available outside. Also, Messy Art Day is truly messy. Come dressed for mess.
The ECPC community was saddened to hear of educator Bev Bos’s death. An advocate of play-based education through the Sacramento-area preschool she founded and her extensive writings and lectures, Bev Bos inspired generations of teachers and families at ECPC.
We send our condolences to the Roseville Community Preschool, which has posted information about the memorial service:
We will gather and celebrate Bev’s life and legacy on February 14, 2016, from 1-4 pm. The celebration will be held at Johnson Hall on the Placer County Fairgrounds. Please join us for this celebration and bring a dish to share.
In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to Bev’s memorial fund.
