Give or Volunteer!

Get Involved in the Community: Give or volunteer!

Support an early learning center in your neighborhood. Sponsor an event in your community promoting early literacy, children’s health, or support for parents of young children. Business leaders can partner with their local Early Learning Coalition to define and support the needs of the community.
  • The purpose of the Early Learning Coalitions is to develop, implement, and monitor the School Readiness and Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs to ensure that Florida's youngest citizens receive quality, comprehensive early learning services appropriate to their needs.

  • Partnering with your local Early Learning Coalition results in community prosperity and serves to expand that prosperity into the business sector. The Children’s Movement serves in facilitating these partnerships between businesses and ELCs as a mutual effort in creating positive change for children and families.
  • Companies might be interested in:
  • Adopting a child care center
  • Subsidizing child care vouchers
  • Providing parenting classes at the workplace
  • Sending newsletters about early childhood development
  • Sponsoring a child care classroom
  • Sponsoring an early childhood community event
  • Providing passes for family-friendly events
