Who We Are

Here at the Alice Cogswell Center (ACC) and Early Learning Center (ELC), we follow a child centered approach. At the ELC, we serve children ages 3-5 with hearing loss, and students with visual impairments. Each child has a unique personality and their own strengths. We respect and encourage each child on their path to learn and grow socially, emotionally, physically and educationally. We believe children grow and develop best when given hands on activities where they can explore and try new things with support and encouragement along the way. We provide the opportunity for children to try a variety of learning experiences throughout the day: fine and gross motor, art, language and literacy, math, and other large and small group activities where we practice valuable communication skills. In all of these areas, we strive to build strong values in our children, self-esteem and respect and caring for others.

What You'll Do

The Early Learning Center is currently seeking a passionate and dedicated teacher to teach young students, who are Deaf/HH, subject matter at a preschool level and support development of social, emotional, developmentally appropriate skills.
