MS Low Income Child Care Initiative »

The Mississippi Low Income Child Care Initiative (MLICCI) is a state wide organization of child care providers, parents, and community people who are working together to: - Build a strong, grassroots constituency for poor children and families in Mississippi; - Advocate improved child-care policies and greater public investment in child-care subsidey programs for poor families; and, - Enhance the quality of child development experiences for all poor children living in Mississippi.

Giving Opportunities

You can help MS Low Income Child Care Initiative; and play a vital role in the recovery of the Mississippi Gulf Coast by generously donating. It's easy, and it doesn't have to be financially painful. Your spare $20 or next weeks movie money, can assist someone who's life was devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

Profile

Studies show that while quality early childhood experiences benefit all children they make the most significantly positive difference in outcomes for poor children; hence MLICCI’s focus on poor children in name and mission.  MLICCI was founded in 1998 by child care providers, parents and community leaders who gathered to share concerns about child care in Mississippi and to explore how they could work together to address those concerns.  We provide technical assistance, training, and resources to help providers fund low-income child care and enhance its quality, so that all our children receive developmentally appropriate care. Workshops are offered throughout the state on child development, child care funding sources, business development, services for low-income families, and how government affects child care.
