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.
