The Mission Early Childhood Development Committee is a group of individuals in the community who are concerned with the growth and development of every child in Mission. We have joined to encourage planning of services for children from zero to six years of age with a coordinated and holistic approach. We are looking at all areas of growth and development to help each child recognize and reach his or her potential, with a particular understanding that the early years are critical for brain development and are the building blocks of future accomplishments and quality of life.
We are striving to have the community reach out to children and their caregivers through organizations, agencies, individuals and businesses to work together and promote community programs, services and activities to enrich the early development and lives of children
