Early Learning Coalition of the Nature Coast

Early Learning Coalition of the Nature Coast Our vision is for all children to have access to quality early education and care, and enter school ready to learn.

The importance of quality early education and care has become a critical issue in our community, and we are proud of the work we have accomplished. Coalition staff continue to work closely with our early learning providers to ensure that children have access to high quality educational services, ensuring that our families have quality options when seeking care and education for their children. Our

partnerships with community organizations are vital to the success of our Coalition. The resources generated through these collaborations have enabled us to make a significant improvement in the lives of the families and children that we serve.

✨ CLASS Quick Tip! ✨

It’s not just what we teach, it’s how we invite children into the learning! 💛

When children are moving, talking, exploring, creating, and asking questions, meaningful learning is happening. Small shifts in how we introduce and guide an activity can lead to BIG interactions in the classroom!

This week, challenge yourself to ask: What will my children actually be doing during this activity?
