Donations are on behalf of Early Childhood Council.
Few organizations have as rich a history and legacy as the Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County, Inc. (ECC). ECC was formed as a grass roots organization in 1983 by a group of educators, social workers, parents and early childhood advocates. Through the years, the ECC has always been focused on prevention and early intervention efforts with an emphasis on assisting young children with special needs. The mission of ECC is to promote the healthy development of all young children because of the fundamental belief that “Every Child Counts”.
The vision for ECC is that each child, no matter the challenges, will enter Kindergarten healthy, happy and ready to learn. Considered a leader among early childhood organizations, ECC is focused on evidence-based practice and longstanding research which chronicles the first five years of life as being the most critical in a child’s development. The ECC partners with families and community organizations to bring about the best possible outcomes for children and families.
