New Playground!
Whittier Early Childhood Center students enjoy a newly expanded playground with greater accessibility for all students and more opportunities to explore!
P is for Play
At Whittier Early Childhood Center, children develop an excitement for learning through a play-based, multi-sensory approach.
Socialize
The mission of Whittier Early Childhood Center is to nurture the development of early learning through play and social interaction, preparing our preschoolers for kindergarten success.
Friends
One of our goals is to teach emotion identification, self-regulation, and how to embrace the uniqueness of those around us. Preschool is about learning social skills through play.
Together
Sidney City Schools works with local childcare facilities to transport Whittier Early Childhood Center students to and from preschool and childcare.

Play
Play-Based Learning
All learning and assessments are done in an engaging, play-based manner.
Learn
Whole Child
We work to address pre-school learning—fine and gross motor skills, age-appropriate communication, social and emotional development, and how to engage successfully in life.
Grow
Social & Emotional Learning
One of our goals is teaching emotion identification, self-regulation, and how to embrace the uniqueness of those around them. Preschool is about learning social skills through play.
Engage
Family Engagment
Families are the foundation of all growth and learning for preschoolers. We want to foster those relationships and encourage family involvement in their child's development at school.
