Welcome to the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC)

We know that children's earliest experiences are especially important because building the human brain begins even before birth; a strong foundation in early years greatly increases the chance of positive outcomes.
Whether you are a parent, provider, educator or community leader, you will find resources to help you give the next generation the strong foundation they will need to thrive.
Find out about Commissioner Sherri Killins's background or sign up for her email updates.
This is a sign of future prosperity for everyone in Massachusetts
