The Granby Early Childhood Council (GECC) is a collaborative of diverse individuals whose interest is the well-being of all children pre-birth to age five. We advocate for policies and practices which ensure that "all children arrive at school healthy and socially and emotionally prepared for academic success and life-long learning."

Our #1 goal is to have all children arrive into kindergarten healthy and socially and emotionally prepared for academic success and life-long learning.

To achieve this, we will:

  • Increase community awareness and understanding of the importance of early child care and education in order to create a common public goal.
  • Support and empower parents as their child's first teacher and advocate with a continuum of parent engagement opportunities.
  • Enhance the capacity of all care givers to provide quality developmentally appropriate care of young children through professional development opportunities.
  • Effectively partner with the school's kindergarten team to create a successful transition from the early childcare environment to kindergarten.
