PTO Mission Statement
The
TECEC Parent-Teacher Organization is dedicated to the enrichment
of the Trumbull Early Childhood Education Center and its students.
Our goal is to promote cooperation and communication between home,
school, and community.
Our
philosophy is to provide educational enhancements, including, but
not limited to, programs which benefit the majority of the student
body and are not normally provided by the board of Education.
It
is our belief that the team effort of a parent-teacher organization
offers the best possible learning environment for our children.
