Our Story
ECP works with a diverse range of populations including teen and adult parents; adjudicated delinquent youth; young adults aging out of the foster care system; preschoolers, and children at grave risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of violence. Workshops and programs are customized to meet the specific needs of the populations we serve.
Our History
ECP was founded in 1976 by Sara Park Scattergood who recognized that providing and supporting parenting education would have a lasting impact on generations of families in the future. Throughout the years, thousands of teachers, parents, children and youth have benefited from ECP’s programs. ECP reaches out to families from a wide cross-section of socio-economic backgrounds throughout the Greater Philadelphia area to teach them basic principles and values of parenting. These principles and values are not only necessary to become a good parent, they are critical to shaping a responsible society.
Our Vision
By using the healthy parent-child relationship as the role model for all relationships, the mission of Educating Communities for Parenting is to provide parenting education and youth development programs that cultivate independence and responsibility in young people and families, break the cycle of child abuse and neglect, and build stronger communities.
