ERCDC has adopted the Creative Curriculum because it provides a guide to best practices in early childhood special education and is based upon over thirty years of research about how children learn. At ERCDC, the classroom environment is safe, welcoming, and child centered. Materials and activities are chosen to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children in the class.
I am so happy that my child is attending this school. I have a different daughter because of the amazing job of the Teachers and Therapists. East River has safe, clean and organized classrooms for kids to be themselves not to mention supportive leadership. I am very happy about my child's progress after attending this school.
