Early Learning Club

In 2025, 2,909 children participated in Early Learning Clubs, building skills for kindergarten success.

Early Learning Club (ELC) is designed with parents and students in mind. It supports families with creative and fun tools to teach their children at home.

These interactive activities help improve the skills every child needs to be ready and able to learn on their first day of kindergarten.

The curriculum covers alphabet and writing, colors, shapes, numbers and counting, developing fine and gross motor skills, rhyming words, and access to books.

ELCs occur at community locations such as churches, schools, libraries, and community organizations.
