Kearney Early Education Center
The Kearney Early Education Center (EEC) in Kearney, MO, opened in August 2018 and serves families from pregnancy until kindergarten entry through various programs. The center houses Acorn Patch Preschool, Forest Friends Preschool, Parents as Teachers, and the Puppy Pound Employee Child Care program, all licensed by The Department of Health and Senior Services.
In addition to its educational offerings, the EEC provides monthly developmental screenings for children ages three to four, hosts family events from August to May, and organizes annual fundraisers, including a Trike A Thon. Recognized for its dedication to Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS), the center received Bronze Level Recognition from the Kansas City Regional Professional Development Center in May 2019.
