The Early Childhood Interagency Coordinating Team (ECICT) seeks to build an integrated continuum of comprehensive, high-quality services that is equitable and accessible and will improve outcomes for each and every child in the prenatal period to age 8 and their family in Vermont. The team works to identify and eliminate barriers to achieve Vermont’s Early Childhood Action Plan.
The team’s efforts result in a more cohesive voice of state government in Vermont’s early childhood system by convening representatives of the state agencies represented on the Building Bright Futures State Advisory Council (Agency of Human Services, Education, Child Development Division, Vermont Department of Health, Department of Commerce). The Early Childhood Interagency Coordinating Team works as a lateral partner of the BBF State Advisory Council to inform the Council on state policy matters and to receive feedback and input on state policy matters from the Council.
