ELC: Who Are We?
We are a family-centered organization that aims to come alongside parents to nurture and guide children as they learn and grow. According to the Iowa Early Learning Standards, 90% of brain development happens during the first 2000 days of life. Therefore, as an early learning center our goal is to partner with families to promote appropriate mental and emotional growth. Our hope is to leave a long-lasting impact on all of the children and families involved in our programming that encourages success measured by proper development, healthy living, and social responsibility. We are also the leading HHS and Head Start partner in the Cedar Valley because we believe your zip code should not determine the quality of care your child receives.
