Early Childhood Program Committee
The Early Childhood Program Committee (ECPC) serves as an Executive Committee for the Early Childhood Education Center. It is chaired by the ECEC director. It is concerned with the academic functions of the ECEC and its relationship to the overall School of Education and the Early Childhood Program.

It also reviews and acts on parent petitions for exceptions to ECEC regulations on admission, tuition, etc. and makes recommendations on all aspects of Early Childhood Education Center functions. This committee negotiates difficulties and differences that arise between students, parents and teachers.
