Your support Helps Children Thrive

While the ECDC Lecture and Luncheon has ended, our work at CCHP continues every day. The Early Childhood Development Center and the Becky and Bob Thomas Playroom are here for children and parents because of this community.

Every contribution helps us continue to support families—whether they’re navigating a small moment in the sandbox or something more complex down the road.

If you’d like to continue supporting this work, we invite you to use the donation form below. Thank you for your generosity and for being part of this work.


“the Gift of Failure” from New York Times Bestselling author Jessica lahey

This year, we welcomed Jessica Lahey as our speaker. She is the author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed and The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence. Jessica is a dynamic and engaging speaker whose insights resonate with parents of babies, children, teenagers, young adults, and beyond.

For over 30 years, ECDC has hosted leading experts in parenting and child development through this annual luncheon. The event serves both as an educational opportunity and as an important fundraiser supporting our ECDC programs and the Becky & Bob Thomas Playroom.
