Early Learning Coalition of Indian River, Martin & Okeechobee

Early Learning Coalition of Indian River, Martin & Okeechobee ELCIRMO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization offering subsidized child care assistance and programs.

The Early Learning Coalition of Indian River, Martin, and Okeechobee Counties, Inc. (ELCIRMO) is defined and described in sections 411.01 and 1002, Florida Statutes. The Coalition was originally created in 1999 as a School Readiness Coalition and became an Early Learning Coalition with the signing of the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) legislation on January 2, 2005. ELCIRMO offers subsidized chi

ld care assistance and programs that give children a competitive start in life. ELCIRMO is responsible for the planning and implementation of school readiness and voluntary pre-kindergarten services in the three county areas. The Coalition is responsible for making decisions to meet the early education and child care needs of the children in our communities. The Coalition sets priorities that are relevant to the children and families in the communities we serve. In addition to providing financial assistance for families, we offer support, training and resources to community providers who serve approximately 5,000 children daily through the School Readiness, VPK and Resource & Referral programs. We serve children and families from all socio-economic backgrounds through a network of child care and resource and referral programs. Our computerized data system allows trained counselors to track both supply and demand for all types of child care services on a daily basis. Parents seeking quality child care have a variety of options including center-based care, family child care, after-school care, preschool, summer camp, nanny information, odd hour, and sick care. Along with Resource and Referral services, we work to enhance both the quality and supply of care through recruitment and training programs. Whether seeking to provide family child care in their homes or planning to open a child care center, we offer start-up and technical assistance, as well as follow-up training and support.

🎉 Celebrating a Year of Incredible Growth in Indiantown! 🎉
Last Friday, we gathered for a Year-End Celebration Brunch 🥐 to honor the brilliant Pre-K educators at Warfield Elementary and the YMCA Indiantown! 🍎✨ Through our year-round coaching program with our Early Childhood Specialists, Erica and Grace, these teachers have put in immense dedication, and the results speak for themselves.

While we are incredibly proud of the hard data, the true heart of this program lies in the meaningful relationships and interactions these teachers developed with their students. A huge thank you to for helping us make such an impact in Indiantown and hosting us at Warfield Elementary. We cannot wait to see what next year brings us!

❤️ A Heartfelt Thank You
This vital work is entirely driven by community collaboration. A huge thank you to the organizations that made this all possible:

⭐️United Way of Martin County unitedwaymartin
⭐️Community Foundations for Palm Beach and Martin Counties

Thank you for investing in our educators, our children, and the future of Indiantown! 🙌
👉 SWIPE to see the incredible numbers and program success our students achieved this year! 📊
