Early Childhood Court, often referred to as ECC or Baby Court, aims to improve child well-being outcomes for child protection involved children. ECC utilizes a trauma-informed approach by partnering with case managers, the Courts, behavioral health providers and families. Early Childhood Court addresses child protection cases involving children under the age of three. It is a problem-solving court – where legal, societal, and individual problems intersect. Problem-solving courts seek to address not only the legal issues but also the underlying non-legal issues that will benefit the parties and society as well. The goal of Florida’s Early Childhood Court is to improve child safety and well-being, change the experience and outcomes of children in the child protection system, heal trauma and repair the parent/child relationship, expedite permanency, and stop the intergenerational cycle of abuse/neglect/violence.
