About NECC

The Northeast Early Childhood Council (NECC) is made up of the communities of Brooklyn, Canterbury, Killingly, Plainfield, Putnam, Sterling, & Thompson. We work together to ensure all children, birth through age eight, in our communities are healthy, safe, and successful learners. We bring together all key stakeholders who play a crucial role in the safety, mental & physical development, and education of our children.

Parents living in our towns, please take our parent needs survey (you can be entered into a drawing for a FREE Social Emotional Learning Kit).  The survey is open through October 31, 2022. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LocalFamilyNeeds

ParentGuidance.org is an online service by licensed therapists that provides trusted and specialized courses, professional support, and a safe community for parents to learn how to support their children and get answers to mental health questions (click the logo below for this FREE resource)
