Principal's Message

Welcome to Territorial Early Childhood Center—where little learners grow in big ways! At TECC, we’re proud to serve children from preschool through second grade, and we consider it a true privilege to be part of these important early years. Our school is a warm, welcoming place where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day.

At TECC, we believe in the power of the whole child—nurturing not just academics, but also social, emotional, and physical development. Our mission is simple: We believe in each child’s potential as a lifelong learner. You’ll see this come to life in every classroom, hallway, and smile. Our vision keeps us grounded: Teaching the whole child, Encouraging excellence, Cultivating character, and Creating a safe community.

We’re all about teamwork at TECC—whether that’s among our incredible staff, with our students, or alongside our families. We know that when we work together, amazing things happen. That’s why we build strong relationships and set high expectations, helping every child grow in confidence and ability.

We’re also proud of the joyful learning that fills our school. Our teachers love what they do, and it shows. From hands-on learning activities to exciting celebrations of growth and achievement, there’s always something meaningful happening at TECC.

Character counts here, too! We focus on “PAWS-ITIVE” traits like respect, responsibility, honesty, compassion, and perseverance—values that help our students become kind, capable, and confident members of their school and community.

And perhaps most importantly, we value you—our families. Your support and involvement make a world of difference, and we’re always here to listen, help, and partner with you every step of the way. If you ever have questions or need anything, please reach out. We’re in this together!

Thank you for choosing TECC. We’re so excited to welcome you to our school family and can’t wait to share a year full of learning, laughter, and growth!
