​The Maryville Early Childhood Center (MECC) is designed to enhance each child’s opportunity to improve his/her potential for success by building a strong foundation for successes throughout life.  The MECC recognizes that the family and home are the first and most significant influences in a young child’s life. The purpose of the MECC is to provide a high quality social and academic program that prepares the students to be ready both emotionally and academically for their future education.

Every child is a unique individual with special abilities, interests, and needs.  We believe it is important for each child to develop a positive feeling about himself/herself while exploring new concepts.  The MECC offers individualized and small group programming to meet the needs of children growing in an ever changing world. Teachers will implement a strong character and social skills program alongside a rigorous academic curriculum.
