As a key point agency for Roots of Empathy, the ECCDC is the local coordinator of the Roots of Empathy program, and is the key contact working directly with the Roots of Empathy Provincial Staff, Mentors, Instructors and with DSBN and NCDSB School Board Representatives.  In this key role ECCDC coordinate’s the annual program start-up and implementation, recruits new Instructors and supports them throughout the training process, oversees regular program maintenance, and coordinates year end wrap up activities inclusive of the annual Baby Celebration.  ECCDC is grateful to our partners at both the District School Board of Niagara and Niagara Catholic District School Board in bringing Roots of Empathy to classrooms across the Niagara Region for the past 25 years!
