ABOUT US

Mission  

Cortelyou Early Childhood Center (CECC) is a premier childcare facility located in Flatbush, Brooklyn.  Having served the children of our community for over 30 years, we take pride in providing a stimulating and diverse curriculum as we believe that hard work leads to success.  Our educational center fosters an environment where the community is also involved in educating our students.  

CECC is committed to providing an excellent education that meets each student’s interests, abilities and needs and promotes an appreciation for racial, religious and cultural differences as an integral part of school life. Students at CECC are challenged to develop intellectual independence, creativity, and most importantly, responsibility toward others as they strive to become upstanding citizens.   

Our educational center surpasses public school curricula by exposing young scholars to a range of both academic subjects and extracurricular opportunities — from advanced mathematics and science experiments to spelling bees and riveting classroom debates.  

These unprecedented times of the global pandemic require that we become the best versions of ourselves in service of the greater community good. At Cortelyou, we rapidly shifted to remote learning during the Covid-19 shutdown to help flatten the curve, and we remain prepared to adapt as Governor Andrew Cuomo decrees. As of this writing, New York and the daily practices of everyday New Yorkers have proven to be a model for the country.
