This website will be used to keep KCC students and faculty up-to-date on the latest happenings of the Early Childhood Club. It will also feature resources and information about the field of Early Childhood Education for all those interested in this exciting and rewarding career.
The Early Childhood Club's end-of-the-term beach party, which was scheduled for this afternoon, has been postponed.
Cloudy weather, and a projected low turnout of members, prompted the decision to cancel today's outing. We hope to reschedule it in the near future.
If you would like to be on the club's mailing list for e-mail alerts and website updates, please contact us at profnleggio@aol.com.

The Early Childhood Club welcomes all members, past and present, to a small beach party to be held on Thursday, July 28 from 3 to 5 p.m. on the KCC beach.
Come and celebrate the end of the summer module and final exams with us! Just bring a towel, an umbrella, and some snacks to share (we'll provide the beverages.) Hope to see you there!

I became faculty advisor to the ECE Club in 2004. I decided to take on this role because of my deep commitment and passion for my chosen field. I want to share my experiences and expertise with students in a forum outside the classroom, and the club provides me that opportunity. I graduated magna cum laude from New York University in 1982, with a B.S. in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. In 1988, I earned my Master's Degree at Bank Street College, one of the premier institutions for ECE in the country, and whose philosophy of humanistic, child-centered learning permeates the entire ECE program at KCC. While at NYU, I did my student teaching at some of the finest early childhood programs in NYC. I know firsthand that the training a person receives as an undergraduate will impact their entire future career, so I am strongly committed to ensuring that students at KCC receive the best possible start. I have just celebrated my 15th anniversary at KCC. Prior to this I was a preschool teacher, child care center director, and early childhood consultant. I am fortunate to have enjoyed a rich and varied career in a field that I love.
