At UIC, Early Childhood Education (ECE) spans departments, colleges, and even the east-west campus structure, from medical initiatives around health and wellness as related to child development to collaborations between psychology and education where policies are influenced. There are neighborhood, city, state, and federal level implications associated with all things related to Early Childhood. Early Childhood Education (ECE) is situated in the College of Education, and connects in many ways to other Early Childhood initiatives on campus, formally and informally. This site is created to help anyone interested in Early Childhood Education, or Early Childhood more generally, navigate the programming, people, and partnerships that have developed over several decades at UIC. The important work in Early Childhood often originates from a complicated web of connections due to historical and institutional factors. We hope this website will 1) lead ECE workers to resources that are helpful, 2) connect folks in all areas of EC to each other, and 3) serve as a ‘home base’ to foster a more secure foundation for all things Early Childhood at UIC and beyond.
