Donor Spotlight
This month's donor spotlight shines brightly on
Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County
The most powerful way to strengthen Hillsborough County businesses and economy is to invest in our youngest residents today. What happens in a child’s first five years lays the foundation for lifelong success, in school, in the workforce, and in our community.
Enrolling children in VPK and School Readiness programs helps prepare them for kindergarten and long-term success. These programs build critical academic, social, and emotional skills while also supporting working families. Through School Readiness, eligible families can receive help paying for childcare, making it easier for parents to work, attend school, and pursue career opportunities.
Today, only 42% of children in our community are ready for kindergarten. If we are serious about building a stronger economy and a thriving community, we must invest in early learning now. Learn more at ELCHC.org.
