Mission

CCI is nationally recognized as a leading voice for meeting the care and development needs of children from birth thru school age.  Founded in 1982, CCI champions the right of all children to start life with the best possible foundation of learning, care and health.  The backbone of CCI’s efforts is: helping families find the best quality early care and learning for their children, partnering with child care and early education professionals to improve and expand their services, and influencing public policy to assure sensible and affordable options.  Working with each of these sectors gives CCI the insight to recommend policies that make quality learning environments a reality for all children. CCI is a New York City based organization.
