The Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend Region serves children and families located in the seven counties that comprise northern Florida’s Big Bend: Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Madison, Taylor, and Wakulla. The Coalition strives to create a seamless system of services to better prepare children for entry into kindergarten by providing information resources to aid parents in finding quality child care, holding screenings and assessments to identify any developmental issues in children, and offering technical assistance and professional development opportunities to child care providers. By focusing on children, families, and parents as individual parts that comprise a whole, the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend Region is able to help build a community where all children are prepared for success in school.

(Click here for more info.)The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) supports families as they help their children develop early literacy skills; by providing them with children’s books and family literacy education. Through My First Books a new children’s book will be given to each family who visits one of the seven ELC Family Service Centers. During that visit, ELC staff members will help parents to identify various ways they can support their children’s literacy development. In addition, the ELC collects quality used children’s books from the community and gives families "Book Coupons" which can be exchanged for a gently used children’s book throughout the year. Please note: Proceeds from the Sweetheart Raffle donations benefit My First Books, which is an early literacy project of the ELC.
