The CCSSO Early Childhood and Family Education (ECFE) Electronic Message service is a weekly distribution of descriptive links (click-on URLs) to timely resources, reports and announcements in the field of early childhood education, care and related K-12 areas.  In addition, the messages highlight available funding sources, and upcoming conferences and training opportunities for early childhood educators and specialists.  The ECFE messages also detail recent online media (newspaper, journal, and radio/television transcripts) articles related to early childhood education and care, family education, and related federal programs and action.  Every citation links the ECFE recipient to the online source and a wealth of additional information.

Currently,  ECFE messages are distributed on a close-to-weekly basis to hundreds of early childhood specialists and experts in state and local agencies, academic institutions and non-profit organizations. 

The ECFE Electronic Message is supported by a grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
