Early Childhood Development and Education Center
The first five years of a child’s life are the most critical in terms of development. It is during this time that 90 percent of a child’s brain growth occurs, accompanied by the cognitive development that often determines the course of the child’s future.
Yet, for many children, those critical years are spent just trying to survive.
The Early Childhood Development and Education Center offers these young children and their families hope when they have nowhere else to turn. Ensuring that all children get the proper start in life is the goal that has been driving the Early Childhood Development and Education Center, formerly PACT, since 1981.
PACT is Now the Early Childhood Development and Education Center
I’m excited to announce a long-awaited name change for PACT. As of today, our program is known as the Early Childhood Development and Education Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute. – Marcella Franczkowski
Lend Your Support to the Early Childhood Development and Education Center
When you give to the Early Childhood Development and Education Center, you are helping to ensure that the most vulnerable, young children will be able to receive the care, early intervention and education services that will help them develop and thrive. Without your support, the families we serve would have nowhere else to turn for specialized child care and family support.
