The Early Learning Community preschool’s mission is to provide an affordable, high quality early learning program for young children. Over 50% of young learners enter kindergarten unprepared and many of our families are able to afford preschool. With your support, we can ensure all families have access to early education.
We invite your participation in any way that you are able. Our strength comes from all the different ways we work together to create a culture of learning.
If you would like to talk to us personally about an idea,
call us at (317) 530-9999.
Thanks for your involvement!
By making a donation you can help support our youngest learners in the community
EVERY DOLLAR MATTERS
We count on the support of the community so that we can provide services to all families. Please consider giving a financial contribution, so that we can provide scholarships in order that all children have the opportunity to go to preschool regardless of a family's income.
