Mississippi Early Childhood Association

Mississippi Early Childhood Association (MsECA) has connected individuals working with young children and families for nearly 67 years. The association was founded in 1953 with 16 charter members.  The organization has grown to include several hundred members across the state.  As an affiliate of the Southern Early Childhood Association (SECA), we are connected to over 21,000 early childhood professionals from 13 states across the South.

What We Do:

Educate – MsECA serves as a source of early childhood expertise and education for practitioners across the state.  MsECA hosts an annual conference and offers mini-conferences through our local, community affiliates.

Connect – MsECA is an organization that brings early childhood professionals from a variety of backgrounds together.  We are Teachers, Administrators, Early Interventionists, Higher Education Faculty, Parents, Service Providers, Trainers, Advocates, Leaders, Curriculum Developers, Decision Makers, and Practitioners.

Advocate – MsECA works to increase awareness of issues that impact early childhood at both the state and federal level. We have been involved in advising state agencies and policy makers on how to support the education and development of Mississippi’s youngest citizens.  MsECA advocates at our State Capitol to our Nations Capitol.
