Welcome ...

Welcome to our Delaware Early Childhood Center (DECC) web site. At DECC, we focus on providing preschoolers with the skills they need to succeed in kindergarten and a foundation for future success as they continue through school. We also offer professional development for those who provide early care and education programs throughout the state.

DECC serves more than 800 preschool children, ages birth to five years and their families throughout the state. DECC provides needed services and programs that ensure their success in those critical early years.

We invite all interested parents, professionals, and members of the community to get acquainted with us and learn more about our programs ... early literacy, parenting skills, reading readiness, English skills, special education and developmental services.
