Fairmont Early Childhood Initiative - ECI

Fairmont Early Childhood Initiative - ECI It takes a Community to raise a child! The Fairmont area Early Childhood Initiative (ECI) is here to promote activities and events for children Birth-5 years.

ECI in the Fairmont area was created as a collaborative effort between the Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) and Community Education & Recreation (CER) programs, including other programs that also serve the 0-5 age group! ECI strives to connect the many organizations in the community that offers events, activities, and services for the Birth-5 yrs age and their families. We create a calendar monthly of these activities to help families get the relevant information all in one spot. You can find the monthly calendar on our page. If you have an event or activity to add, please message us and our ECI Communications Coordinator will add it. It takes a Community to Raise a Child!
