Early Childhood Education Center Mission Statement
The mission of the faculty at the Early Childhood Education Center is to provide a safe, nurturing, child-centered, and quality educational environment that fosters a child’s individual success and a love of learning in collaboration with parents and the community.
About ECEC
Welcome to E.C.E.C.! Wood Dale School District #7 operates an Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC). There are two programs at ECEC serving a possible 130 students, ages three through five. One program is for students eligible for special education. This program serves Wood Dale students and eligible students from surrounding districts that belong to the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative.
The other program, open only to District #7 students, is the Prekindergarten At-Risk program funded by a grant through the Illinois State Board of Education. This program serves three and four year old children who may be at risk of academic failure due to language, cultural, economic or other concerns. District 7 has received a grant award to fund the program every year since 1986.

Dear WD7 Families, Community Members & Staff,
The Board continues to adhere to their timeline for identifying the new superintendent. As promised, I am providing all of you with an update regarding the search. Representatives from the search firm (BWP) presented the Superintendent Candidate Profile they developed at the October board meeting last week. Please CLICK HERE to view the superintendent leadership profile. The profile was based on information BWP gathered from the focus groups, surveys and interviews completed over the last month. This profile will be used by BWP to screen candidates to be interviewed by the board. Interviews will take place in December with the goal of hiring and announcing the new superintendent in January. Please click language to view the survey results ENGLISH SPANISH POLISH.
On behalf of the Board I would like to thank all of you for your participation in the focus groups and surveys that were used to develop the profile. Your input is important to us.
Sincerely,
Joe Petrella, President
Board of Education 7
