Clemson Early Childhood Education Center opened Aug. 31

Clemson’s long-anticipated goal of having a childhood education center has been realized. This past Monday, the Early Childhood Education Center opened its doors. The Center, located at 330 Seneca Creek Road, will operate year-round and follow the University holiday and closure schedule. The Center provides childcare and early education programs for infants, toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten prep aged children.

The Center will also be providing enhanced health and safety practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 Related Response

In the wake of COVID-19, the health and safety of guests is the number one priority, and the Center is implementing a number of enhanced protocols, including:

• Reduced class sizes.
• Daily health screenings and touchless temperature checks upon arrival for adults, children, and Center employees.
• Drop-offs and pick-ups restricted to the lobby or outside.
• Masks for teachers, staff and other adults in the Center at all times
• Each class will operate as a “self-contained unit” and adhere to social distancing protocols.
• Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces, toys, and laundered items.
• Training for teachers on all protocols.
