We absolutely love RB ECC. We found them when looking for a flexible part-time Summer camp for my 3 year old. We really enjoyed our Summer experience so decided to join for the school year. Our oldest just graduated from RB ECC and our youngest will start in the 2s room this year. We cannot say enough great things about the school and all the teachers.

Nothing compares to ECC! As an alum myself, I knew ECC was the place for our son. The leadership and teachers create the perfect environment for little minds to explore and excel. We LOVE ECC!
We love ECC! All three of our children have attended and I cannot say enough great things. Leslie runs an incredible program and I've always appreciated her communication, organization, attention to detail, and genuine love and care she puts into everything she does. Nearly all of the teachers that were present 5 years ago when my other two kids attended are still there today (many have been there MUCH longer than that) which speaks volumes. We've also done the summer camp program and it is also amazing! So grateful for this place and all of the teachers here <3

We are going on our fourth year with ECC and couldn't be happier. I highly recommend it to any family looking for a wonderful early childhood program.

ECC is an excellent pre-school in Kansas City, and we are so lucky it's right in our neighborhood. Ms Leslie, the teachers, and Pastor Jewell are truly mission driven to impact these kids for life. We frequently meet parents and/or grandparents with a connection to ECC, so it's a beautifully community driven school. Thankful for all their commitment and dedication to the kids and the community. 🫶 The Browns
