For over 50 years, Mid-Columbia Children's Council (MCCC) has been a beacon of early childhood education and family support for low-income families. Their comprehensive programs foster the cognitive, emotional, and physical development of children aged 0 to 5, leading to improved readiness for kindergarten and enhanced math, language, and literacy skills. Former students returning as teachers showcase the organization's lasting impact. MCCC's dedication to equity, inclusion, and community-building makes it a vital force for creating better futures for children and families.
