Every child deserves a promising future.
About us
The Early Childhood Collaborative of the Greater Helena Area (ECC) is a collaborative effort of several organizations and individuals to promote systemic change for children age prenatal to eight and their families. The ECC does not provide direct services to children or families but helps coordinate communications and community efforts to promote positive early childhood outcomes.
