Families are invited to experience learning through the eyes of a preschooler during the Brentwood Early Childhood Center’s Exploration Night on Thursday, Oct. 8, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Whether you’re curious about what preschool looks like at BECC or are a current family interested in seeing your child’s learning environment in action, Exploration Night offers an opportunity to visit classrooms, meet BECC and Parents as Teachers staff and discover how young children learn through play, exploration and meaningful connections.

Families and children will have the opportunity to explore BECC’s thoughtfully designed classrooms and experience some of the hands-on learning opportunities that are part of each school day. Staff will also be available to share more about the center’s developmental, constructivist approach and how it encourages children to be curious, confident and active participants in their learning.

At BECC, play is an important part of the learning process. Through purposeful activities and interactions, children develop skills, explore new ideas, build relationships and begin establishing a lifelong love of learning.

We look forward to welcoming current and prospective families for an evening of exploration, discovery and fun!
