Early Care and Education Administration 

The Early Care and Education Administration (ECEA) provides support for and collaborates with other public and private child and family advocacy organizations to formulate an effective continuum of services and care for District children 5 years of age and younger. ECEA also provides access to before and after school services for eligible children up to age 12.

The administration manages a comprehensive, subsidized childcare program for eligible children and families. It also oversees the Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities Program (ITD), a prevention and intervention strategy that promotes the identification and screening of infants and toddlers for developmental delays up to 3 years of age.

In addition, the ECEA manages scholarship programs for national accreditation of centers and homes. The administration provides a scholarship program for individuals seeking professional early childhood development credentials. 

For childcare profiles, early learning standards or to view the District of Columbia Register, please visit the following links:

For more information on childcare, including financial assistance, contact ECEA at (202) 727-1839, or see other helpful websites below.
