Description

 

The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Polk County proudly presents our 7th Annual Gala on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at Venue 650 located in the beautiful city of Winter Haven. Through this event we raise awareness and funds for early childhood education and development for the children in Polk County.

 

This year we will celebrate our 25th Anniversary, also known as the “Silver Jubilee” a significant milestone that marks a quarter of a century of success, growth, and resilience. We will reflect on the past and celebrate the present.

 

Currently the ELC collaborates with over 300 childcare providers countywide and serves more than 12,000 children and families. Studies show that when a child receives high quality early childhood education, they are more likely to become an economically self-sufficient member of society as an adult.

 

The ELC of Polk County is a local 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Our vision and mission are to make sure that children enter school ready to succeed and eager to learn. The focus of our programs is to serve children from birth to age 5, particularly those from low-income families and at risk of failure.
