Launched in 2010 as a joint initiative of the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), and the United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merimack Valley, Brain Building in Progress is
a statewide campaign to raise public awareness and involvement in young
children’s healthy development and early learning. Our work is based
upon the latest science
and research on early childhood development. Our mission is to raise
awareness of the critical importance of fostering the cognitive, social
and emotional development of young children by emphasizing its future
impact on the economic prosperity of everyone in Massachusetts.
The “Brain Building in Progress” campaign promotes the important role everyone can play in building young children’s brains. We welcome the
business, education, and policy-making communities, as well as members
of the media to be part of this crucial venture. By providing a strong
start for our youngest citizens, we create a stronger, more prosperous
future for all. (About Us)
