(Early Childhood Development Center)

In 1974, the Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC) was established in partnership with CCHP and the Junior League of New York.  Parents with children up to three years old can enroll in ECDC classes to learn the principles of childhood development and gain on-going support and guidance through a facilitated group setting.

Parent-education groups are led by parent educators, all of whom are former ECDC participants themselves, and follow a curriculum created by ECDC staff.

In a small group setting, parents can share their questions, learn what to expect and how to respond to their child’s changing needs. Groups meet weekly, and are organized by the child’s birthdate to discuss issues of normal childhood development with other parents of children the same age.
