Investing in Young Children is Critical
Research suggests that 90 percent of brain growth is developed by the age of five. To help young children experience the best possible learning environment, they need nurturing teachers who have a background in early childhood education and developmentally appropriate child care settings in which to grow and learn.
The Early Learning Coalition’s mission 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.
The Early Learning Coalition of Southwest Florida provides services to over 10,000 children each year, which include the following:
- Child Development Screenings
- Inclusion Services
- Health and Safety Monitoring
- Vision and Hearing Screening for 3 and 4 year old children
- RN Child Care Health Consults
- Child Development Assessments
- Environment Rating Scale (ERS) to assess child care environments
- Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) and Training Coordination
- School Readiness Program for eligible families
- Voluntary Prekindergarten Program to all 4 year olds
- Literacy Buddy Program
