EEC Rewards
EEC Rewards are available only to certified individuals and include discounts on purchases through early childhood supply companies, from national booksellers, small businesses and more. As the list grows on a state and local level, so will the resources of certified Early Educators. Discounts support our workforce in stretching their resources while we all work toward the recognition of the field as a profession and advocate for public dollars to support higher compensation for an educated workforce.
Grow EEC Rewards
The Institute is working with partners and businesses across the state and nation to increase discounts available to certified early care and education and school age professionals, mirroring discounts available to public school teachers. Early childhood partners are encouraged to review the Vendor Packet below and share with businesses that may be interested in supporting Early Educators connecting to their goods or services.
Vendors interested in providing an EEC Reward should complete the Vendor Agreement Form below and send by email to erinl@nceec.org or fax to 919-442-1998.

Child Care Services Association and MassMutual are proud to announce the introduction of LifeBridgeSM, MassMutual’s free life insurance program. Through LifeBridge, the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) insures the lives of qualified early care and education professionals for the benefit of their children. A 10-year term life insurance policy, with a death benefit of $50,000, is provided. If you die during the 10 years of coverage, the $50,000 is paid into a trust, administered by the MassMutual Trust Company, FSB, and used to cover educational expenses of your dependent children.
It is FREE. There is no cost to you or your children; MassMutual pays all of the premiums for the policy. No one will try to sell you other insurance. For more information on eligibility requirements, email an EEC staff member at info@nceec.org.
