Paramus Early Childhood Center History and Philosophy
Since 1973, when Dr. Ben Barbarosh established the Paramus Early Childhood Center, we have strived to create and maintain an atmosphere in which children feel valued and respected. In a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment, we encourage the development of self-confidence, self-respect, and the joy of learning.
Since its inception, the ECC program at Paramus High School has integrated with the high school child development classes. The child development high school students balance each week between the child development classroom, where they learn theory, and the ECC, where they put that theory into practice through hands-on learning with the children. This multi-age concept supports learning for both the preschoolers and the high school students.
The ECC has expanded to include a program for three-year-old preschoolers, which has four classrooms and a playground facility located in the ECC wing of Paramus High School. The Parkway Elementary School four-year-old preschool program has four classrooms and playground facilities.
