About us
ECNS was founded in 1981 by the Ellington Wesleyan Church to minister to the children of Ellington and its surrounding communities.
At ECNS, we believe that children are truly a gift from God (Ps. 127:3). With that in mind, we provide a loving environment that helps each child reach his/her potential in all areas of development.
As a state licensed facility, we work hard to maintain an excellent facility that is in compliance with state and local health care regulations and statutes.
As a Christian Preschool, we introduce the children to Christ’s love for them and guide them to the understanding that He cares for them and watches over them.
Our program integrates school readiness learning and consists of hands-on experiences with developmentally appropriate materials. Activities are designed to foster cooperation and creativity.
Our hope is that each child will experience the love of Christ, as modeled by our teachers, in a very real, concrete way.
