Loveland Early Childhood Center
The Loveland Early Childhood Center serves all Loveland preschoolers and kindergarten students.
Our kindergarten program offers a full-day or half-day option. The full-day program is tuition-based, Monday through Friday. Our preschool program is half-day, with no classes on Fridays. Whether a student will attend AM or PM preschool or kindergarten is largely determined by busing. In general, all Clermont County and Warren County students attend the AM session, and all Hamilton County students attend the PM session.
LECC boasts a committed, child-centered, and professional team. We have a strong focus on literacy and rich and varied exposure across many curriculum areas.
School visits/tours are available on a scheduled basis, although due to demand and classroom interruption, we cannot offer in-class observation to visitors.
Kindergarten Entry Age Policy
Any child reaching age 5 by August 1 of the upcoming school year is eligible to enroll. Registration begins shortly after winter break for the upcoming year. Parents can learn more about kindergarten registration by following this link. Sometimes, parents question if their child is ready for kindergarten or if they should wait another year. Unfortunately, there is no perfect formula to determine whether or not a child is truly ready for kindergarten.
Loveland Early Childhood Center Preschool
Loveland Early Childhood Center's preschool program serves children three to five years of age. LECC offers this program tuition-free for children with a variety of disabilities who qualify for special education services in response to a federal mandate, and for a fee to serve typically developing children.
