Welcome to the Bennington Early Childhood Center, a place where children ages one to six can learn through exploration!  At the BECC, our highly qualified staff strives to encourage exploration, create a supportive and intentional learning environment, nurture with patience, cultivate a sense of cooperation, and value respect and diversity through all of our daily interactions with the children and families we serve.  Our program runs on a school-year schedule, with opportunities to attend three, four or five days per week, for half or full days. We also offer an enriching summer program and wrap-around coverage for those that need it. We are conveniently located between Bennington, North Bennington and Shaftsbury, and also serve children from as far away as Manchester, Pownal, and Cambridge and Hoosick Falls, NY.  Our website will give you a nice overview of our program and upcoming special events, however I also encourage you to come visit us in person. All families are welcome to schedule a tour during our regular business hours. I look forward to meeting you soon!
