Suzuki Early Childhood Education (Suzuki ECE) is the realization of potential through active and reactive participation in the environment.
Based on Dr. Suzuki’s beliefs that every child can learn and the child’s potential is unlimited. The uniqueness of Suzuki ECE is the emphasis on the natural development of the child from birth and the rich and stimulating learning partnerships that are developed with parents and teachers. The goal is to create an environment for children, free from pressure in which they can gain skills, a sense of purpose in life, and understanding of discipline and an appreciation of beauty. The Suzuki ECE music class uses a constant curriculum over a three year period to ensure thorough mastery.

“First for the love of the child; second for the love of teaching the child; and third for the love of the music that is taught to the child. But the child always comes first.” – Shinichi Suzuki
