Fathers Club

Mission Statement

Welcome to the Trumbull Early Childhood Education Center , or TECEC!  The TECEC Fathers Club was formed in 2007 by a very dedicated group of  dads. Some of the contributions we have made include raising funds for a  school defibrillator, coordinate the Preschool Olympics, and purchased a  TECEC school sign.


The Fathers Club has many goals:

  • Offer support to teachers, staff, students, and PTO in whatever form we can
  • Hold fundraisers to benefit the school
  • Solicit donations from local businesses and civic groups
  • Run the TECEC Olympics.
  • Hold social events for the Dads – hey, we need a night off sometimes too!


All fathers with a child or children in TECEC, including Head Start,  are welcome. There are no membership dues, we receive no funds from the  school system, and rely entirely on donations and fundraisers.
