The Early Learning Coalition of Polk County is a non-profit agency focused on early education and care. Our School Readiness Program provides economically disadvantaged and at-risk children access to high-quality early education — helping prepare them for success in school while supporting families to become self-sufficient.
Research has shown that the early years, especially the first three years of life, are extremely important when it comes to building a child's brain. A child's earliest experiences and environments set the stage for their future development and success.
Through collaborative community partnerships, the Coalition works to identify resources and opportunities to deliver the highest quality services — for parents, child care providers, and every interested member of the community.
