About ECCYC

The Essex County Council for Young Children offers an environment where parents/families can come together with providers and other community members to identify and discuss issues affecting children from conception to age 8 in Essex County. Working together as active partners, Council members impact policies relating to the health, education and safety of our children as they relate to the needs, concerns, hopes, dreams and successes of our families. ECCYC gives parents a forum and opportunity to voice concerns, engage community leaders at the local level and gain support through training that strengthens both families and the broader communities throughout Essex County.
