Early Childhood Initiatives Center

Early Childhood Initiatives Center We use a collaborative approach with families, early childhood partners, and donors to improve early childhood services and community awareness.

The Early Childhood Initiatives Center (ECIC) opened in 2009 as a place where all early childhood professionals can share knowledge, resources, and best practices to benefit the growth and education of young children. The goal is to improve quality of care and education in NW Arkansas for working families with children ages 0-5. The ECIC reaches beyond the 250 children we serve at our center to el

evate the quality of care and education provided by the 494 Northwest Arkansas childcare programs to over 32,000 children in our region. We employ a 7-prong approach of professional and program development, accountability, resource and financial support, awareness, and advocacy to create systemic change towards state quality accreditation.

Meet Allison Davies - Brain Care, not Behaviour Management! She a Neurologic Music Therapist and Brain Care Specialist who focuses on brain care for young children.

“Visualise your brain as an email inbox. Now visualise the gazillions of emails dropping into that inbox every day - in the form of every single thing we see, every single thing we hear, all the data to process and decisions to be made. And now imagine yourself trying to get to inbox zero every day.
And then picture a child's brain trying to do the same.

Childhood anxiety isn't a "why?" issue - it's a "no wonder" issue!

And this only just scratches the surface.

When you really step back and look at what’s going on in the brain vs what it was designed for vs what we are expecting of it?

MIND! BLOWN!

Our lifestyle HAS to change!

Little ones are experiencing more overwhelm, overload and anxiety than ever before.

And WE - their parents, carers and teachers - have the potential to be the biggest change makers in their lives!

Children’s brains are simpler than you may think, and so is how we support them."--Allison Davies
