Early Learning Coalition of Lake County

From sweet VPK days at Kiddie Castle to walking the stage as a Tavares High School graduate — what an incredible journey it has been! 💙

Jaron has always followed her passions, from raising rabbits in FFA during elementary school to dedicating 3 years to the high school band percussion section 🥁. Along the way, she made memories that will last a lifetime.

When she’s not making music, Jaron enjoys spending time with horses and relaxing at the lake — her happy places 🐎🌊.

Next up, Jaron plans to attend Lake Tech to pursue a career in law enforcement, with the goal of becoming a K9 officer 🐕‍🦺 — and we couldn’t be more proud of her ambition and determination!

Congratulations, Jaron Mullins! Your future is bright, and this is just the beginning 🌟

Today we celebrate the incredible early childhood educators and child care providers in Lake County and throughout the State of Florida!

Your work goes far beyond teaching—it’s nurturing, guiding, comforting, and believing in children during the most important years of their lives.

You create safe spaces where little minds grow, curiosity is encouraged, and confidence begins.

Your patience, dedication, and love do not go unnoticed. Families, children, and our entire community are stronger because of the care you provide every single day.

Thank you for showing up with heart, even when the work is challenging, and for being a steady, trusted presence for our youngest learners.

We are deeply grateful for all that you do—today and always. 💐

Congratulations Kylin! We know you will do AMAZING things! Class of 2039

2026 Lake County Providers Appreciation! Spread Kindness, Share the Fiesta! Tonight we had an awesome time celebrating some of the best early childcare providers in the Lake County!

April is a time to shine a light on prevention and the power of community. 💙

Today, our team at the Early Learning Coalition of Lake County proudly recognizes Pinwheels for Prevention—a symbol of the happy, healthy childhood every child deserves. Our pinwheel garden stands as a reminder that strong families, supportive communities, and early learning opportunities all play a vital role in protecting our children.

We are grateful for our dedicated staff who work every day to support children and families across Lake County. Together, we can plant the seeds for brighter futures and ensure every child has the chance to grow, learn, and thrive.
