Sycamore Run Early Childhood

The Sycamore Run Early Childhood Center is a new entity, but certainly not a new program - we proudly trace our heritage to the River Valley Community School and Preschool ( formerly located in Athens ). Although the community school has closed for a while, we will carry on its basic mission and philosophies as they apply to our preschool program. We have modeled our curriculum, classrooms and policies after those well-established by the years of dedication put forth by River Valley families and staff. Children learn from their communities. This process begins with their own life experiences - family life is integral to school readiness. It continues with peer interactions and relationships with children of other ages, and blossoms as children come into contact with a wider community and the natural world.
