About Us

Arkansas Early Childhood Education Resources is provided to early care providers across the state through funding from the Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Human Services Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education in collaboration with the University of Arkansas Early Care and Education Projects (ECEP).

ECEP believes all children deserve quality care no matter the setting (center-based, family child care, faith-based, home visiting, out-of-school time). This site provides a place for early childhood educators to come together to strengthen business practices, share services, and increase buying power while working on enhancing quality and giving all Arkansas’s children a strong start. Early educators will have access to common information and resources, ensuring consistent, seamless, and united high-quality programs for children.
