Early Steps is a community-based program. It depends on input from parents and community members. Early Steps works with IYC Provider Network and the Early Childhood Council.
The Mission Statement of the Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County, Inc. The Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County (ECC), Inc. seeks to assure a comprehensive continuum of services to all children under 8 and their families in Hillsborough County, specifically those children who need specialized educational, medical, or social services. The Council promotes effective utilization of personnel and resources so that each child and family is identified and receives services in a timely fashion. The Early Childhood Council of Hillsborough County meets the second Thursday of each month. ECC has more than 41 agency members and is very active in education and advocacy efforts. The Council is the lead partner in planning and implementing an annual statewide early intervention conference. The Council is also the inspiration and developer of the community wide free developmental screening program. Please call Milly Bucy, ECC Chairperson for more information at 813-837-7777.
