It is our vision that all children in this community will enter school ready to learn.
Children who enter school prepared to learn have the best chance of completing their education with the necessary competencies to become productive citizens. The Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County works to meet the needs of working families, the school readiness needs of young children, and the workforce needs of our growing community.
