Early Learning Coalition of Southwest Florida

One of the best investments we can make in the life of a child is with their early education experiences. Research supports this and shows that when we pay attention to those early years, it has a direct link to a child’s success later in life. We are working toward a time when affordable high-quality early learning programs are available to families that need them. These programs allow parents/guardians to stay in the workforce or in school while children receive the tools they need to become good learners, and eventually, productive citizens.
The mission of the Early Learning Coalition of Southwest Florida is to enhance the quality of children’s lives by providing families, early childhood educators, care-givers and community partners in Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee Counties with opportunities to positively impact the future.
