The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Anti-Crime Initiative, in partnership with the Culture, Health, Arts, Sports and Education (CHASE) Fund has facilitated the renovation of the Eccleston Early Childhood Institution located in Macca Tree, St Catherine, at a cost of J$4.7 million.

The building was handed over recently, with a perimeter block fence in place, along with new play equipment and other renovation to the existing building, including a new roof, new windows, flooring, and upgraded kitchen facilities.
