Our family is so gratful for this school. It is the type of place you never feel guilty dropping your kids off. The staff and director are always welcoming and available to both parents and students. The school was closed for almost a year following Hurricane Ian but it reopened better than ever. The inside of the historic building was completely renovated and feel brand new! And the playground is unblieveable. It is huge and encourages lot of imaginative and collaborative play. The other benefit is the nature based aspect the kids learn all about the island of Sanibel and its unique ecosystem both from staff and local non profits like SCCF, The Shell Museum, Sea School, CROW, and Ding Darling!

Love this place! They have an amazing way of teaching and connecting with kids and you can easily tell all of the teachers love what they do. They are very thoughtful when introducing new things or making changes and they always take parents requests into account. The location is also a plus! The kids go on daily nature walks and get to see in real life all of the animals they are studying. All around amazing place.

This school is the absolute best. My daughter loves it and is excited every day she goes to spend time with the quality teachers and her little friends. If you have the opportunity to send your child here, you should totally go for it!

We love CECI. What an amazing and unique opportunity for our son to learn, play and make friends in a nature based setting and curriculum.
