FCCLA - Early Childhood Education (ECE)

ECE Program

Coolidge ECE provides amazing opportunities for high school students to learn about child development and how to prepare children for lifelong learning. This year, ECE is operating Coolidge's first CTE run preschool, which provides work-based learning for Coolidge High School students. High school students are not only learning but applying their knowledge with real work experience when interacting with children.

Coolidge ECE is part of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America or FCCLA. Coolidge's FCCLA chapter is Gold rated and viewed as one of the top chapters in the State of Arizona. Last spring, many FCCLA students competed in events at the state level and won! 🏆 last summer, many of these state winners traveled to Seattle, Washington for the FCCLA National Competition and placed Silver in their events.
