Why Deutsch Early Childhood Center?

At DECC, every teacher knows your child's name, and you'll feel the sense of relief that you are not alone along the journey of parenting a preschooler. Our entire team is here to support you, to have your back on those days when you feel overwhelmed, and to celebrate those little milestones and magic moments with as much enthusiasm as you feel as a parent.

DECC also accommodates your family's changing daily schedules. We are open Monday-Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm with flexible scheduling of days and hours meet your needs.

Our ultimate goal is to teach our children what it means to be productive members of the community. If you're shopping for a preschool that fits your family, we welcome the opportunity to show you why DECC may just be a perfect fit.
