Yes, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of the Episcopal Church and most any other Christian Church that performs a baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, e.g., "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
The Pastor of your Catholic Church will request the Baptism Card or Certificate signed by the priest of your Episcopal Church, when your family is 'received' into the Catholic Church and/or prior to signing off on the child's the First Communion.
As a side-note the Catholic Church recognizes that any person may perform the Baptism of a child in cases of necessity, even by a non-baptized person, with the required intention, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula as stated above. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. [Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1256]
