Purpose and Mission Statement Early Childhood Advisory Council (ECAC)
Purpose: The ECAC is an advisory group of community stakeholders interested in the education and welfare of children in preschool through grade three that is convened by the school district (N.J.A.C. 6A:13A-1.2). The purpose is to review the accomplishments of high-quality programs, to serve as advisory support for the preschool program, and to support the transition as children move from preschool through the early grades.
Mission: The ECAC is committed to fostering collaboration among families, educators, community partners, and stakeholders to strengthen the preschool program. Our mission is to ensure every child and family thrive by promoting high quality learning experiences, supporting holistic development, and creating an inclusive environment where all voices are valued. Together, we work to build a stronger foundation for lifelong success.
If you are interested in joining the ECAC, please reach out to our Community and Parent Involvement Specialist.
