About ECDC, Inc.
History:
In 1975, ECDC originally started as Parents of Preschoolers, Inc. (POPI), a parent corporation on the NIH campus in Building 35. As the need for before and after school care for children in grades 1 through 6 became critical for working families, in 1976, an after school program was established to accommodate 20 children at the Arylawn Elementary School on Oakmont Avenue, one block west of the NIH campus. Within the next 5 years, additional after school programs and a preschool program were established to provide child care services for 100 children and NIH families.
With the closing of the Arylawn Elementary School in 1981, the extended POPI program merged with another nearby before and after school program in the Arylawn Building. This merger increased the program's capacity to 180 children. In 1982, the Arylawn site reincorporated as a parent non-profit organization called the Nettie Ottenberg Memorial Child Care Center, Inc. (NOMCCC). The new Center resided at the Arylawn building until their lease expired in 1995. With the growing need for child care services, NIH secured a new 25,000 sq. ft. home for the Center. In June 1995, NOMCCC relocated to Executive Boulevard in Rockville, Maryland. The new facility allowed the program to increase its enrollment capacity to 265 children. In the summer of 1995 NOMCCC renamed its program to the Executive Child Development Center, Inc.
Philosophy:
ECDC provides a warm, nurturing and safe environment where children get to do what children like to do: play games, learn new skills, and talk with friends. We offer a curriculum program that allows children to learn at their own rate and make their own choices. There is a wide range of activities including sports, games, long-term activities, and most importantly, projects generated by the children's needs, interests and abilities.
