ABCs, numbers & learning books
Silly stories
Books about kindness, friendship & feelings

BIG NEWS for The Village Early Learning Center! 💚💙

We are incredibly grateful to First National Bank of Fort Smith for an extraordinary $63,500 investment in the future of our children and our community!

Their generous gift will help bring our Community Village to life and launch First Fund, a financial literacy initiative that will give families of our first 136 children the opportunity to open a savings account in their child’s name, with First National Bank contributing the first $100 to each qualifying account.

This partnership is about so much more than a gift. It’s about teaching children from their very first years about saving, responsibility, community, and planning for their future. 🌱

As our CEO, Melissa Marshall Curry shared, “Buildings are important, but what happens inside them is what changes lives.”

Thank you to Sam Sicard, the First National Bank Board of Directors, and the entire First National Bank family for believing in the vision of The Village Early Learning Center and investing in generations to come.

Rooted in Care. Growing in Knowledge. 💚💙
