Welcome and thank you for visiting our webpage. This has been an amazing year for those of us in Early Childhood education and working in the Oswego CUSD #308. The opening of the first early learning center in the district has truly been a dream come true for many of our community members and staff, who have been long time advocates for early intervention, its benefits and the need to organize the programs for young children, housed in

the district, under one roof.

    It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the first administrator of the Early Learning Center. My twenty - three years in the field of education, with twelve of them as a Four Year Old Kindergarten Teacher, Early Childhood Special Education Teacher and Kindergarten/First Grade Teacher, has afforded me the opportunities to develop a deep sense of respect for the innovation, creativity and persistence with which teachers execute the curriculum and connect the content to the State Learning

Standards, while taking into consideration the "Whole Child". 

    Each day the teachers and staff at the Early Learning Center create an excitement about teaching and learning. This has resulted in student success, parent involvement and a commitment from community members to be partners in this wonderful neighborhood school. 

    The individual needs of each student are paramount in the selection and design of every learning experience. Children are afforded a variety of opportunities to explore, discover, create and imagine. Children are actively engaged in the learning process, as they interact with their teachers and their classmates, to achieve expected outcomes and goals.

    For those of us, who have the great fortune to work within the walls of The Brokaw Early Learning Center, there is a belief in the power of early childhood education. We believe that together with families and the community, we can build a successful future for our young children.

    Our door is always open. Please call the Early Learning Center Office to

arrange a tour of the building and hear about the variety of opportunities

for children and their families. You can do so by calling (630) 551-9600. I
