South Carolina Early Childhood Association

Statement of Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

SCECA is a welcoming and caring organization committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As such, we have a duty and responsibility to work for a better, fairer and more just world for South Carolina’s children, families, and the professionals who care for them. SCECA commits to identify, acknowledge, and challenge oppressive racist systems that harm our members, the children and families in our care, and our communities.

We explicitly and publicly affirm our identity as an antiracist organization, and we commit to antiracist policies, procedures, and practices within our organization. As a prominent early childhood organization in South Carolina, we also commit to assist in the work needed to develop and implement strategies that dismantle racism within all aspects of the early childhood education community.
