Early Childhood programs do more than teach ABCs—they help shape the culture of care that surrounds young children and their families. Embracing and supporting breastfeeding isn’t just a nice gesture—it’s a powerful way to show that the program truly sees the whole child. Many toddlers continue to breastfeed, and the benefits are undeniable: stronger immune systems, healthy brain development, and emotional comfort. By offering a safe space to pump and store breast milk properly, ECC sends a clear message—we value families. It’s also a matter of equity. Working moms, especially those with fewer resources, often face big challenges in continuing to breastfeed. That’s why our program stepped up became part of the solution. This builds trust, strengthens our community, and help to normalize something natural and important. Supporting breastfeeding isn’t just about milk—it’s about sending love, respect, and empowerment home with every child.
