Early Childhood Resource Center
 The Early Childhood Resource Center is a room located inside the Edison
Community College Library. It houses a collection of toys, books, and
equipment that can be used with infants, toddlers, preschool, and school
age children.
The Resource Center is open to all students, parents, family child
care providers, child care and preschool programs in Darke, Miami, and
Shelby counties.
Students and community members may obtain a library card, which is required to use the resource
center, by going to Library Information Desk and presenting a current
receipt of registration for classes or a valid driver's license.
The collections in the Resource Center were funded by Edison Community
College and various community groups and foundations for the
following purposes:
- To encourage improvement in early childhood professionals' and
students' abilities to create better environments for young children
by providing resources (books, videos, and materials) to be used
independently as well as in informal training sessions and more
formal education classes.
- To affect the daily lives of young children directly by: providing
equipment (laminator and Ellison Letter Machine, copy machine, paper
cutter, tool boxes) and space to create inexpensive materials to be
used by/with young children and their families; and offering
materials and props (multi-cultural toys, prop boxes) to be checked
out by the early childhood professionals, students, and parents and
to be used directly by/with the children.
- To provide training sessions in the use of the Resource Center and
the use of the materials.
