rdf:langString The Foundation for the Development of Caribbean Children (FDCC) is a nonprofit organisation helps disadvantaged young children in the Caribbean to reach their full potential through early childhood development (ECD) outreach. Headquartered in Bridgetown, Barbados and serving the entire Caribbean, the FDCC is the region's first indigenous foundation working in the ECD field.To improve the care environment for the region's youngest children, the FDCC prioritises access to good-quality ECD services (particularly for the socially vulnerable) and seeks to improve children's readiness (skills and knowledge) to enter primary school.The FDCC creates, controls and manages projects in several Caribbean nations. It also distributes resources as required. By targeting socially disadvantaged young children (birth to five years), the FDCC is different from other organisations working in the Caribbean ECD sector. Typically, other organisations and governments support mainstream, older children (once they have entered formal education structures).
