KECCS -- Kansas Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems

Early childhood stakeholders from across the State have partnered to develop and implement the Kansas Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (KECCS) Plan, a roadmap to guide the provision of services to young children and families. The KECCS Plan builds on the extensive work of early childhood professionals, the resulting Kansas School Readiness Initiative, and the early childhood priorities of Governor Sebelius and Kansas Legislators.

 

From current research on the early years of childhood, we know that the developing architecture of a child’s brain from birth to age three is crucial to creating the foundation for early success in school and later success in life. Early childhood stakeholders throughout Kansas realize that this critical development in our young children is everyone’s responsibility.  By working together to align our efforts, we can assure that our families, schools, and communities have access to the resources they need to provide safe, healthy, and nurturing learning environments.
