Early Learning Club
United Way of Lake County’s Early Learning Club (ELC) is designed with parents and students in mind. It supports families with creative and fun tools to teach their children at home. These interactive activities help improve the skills every child needs to be ready and able to learn on their first day of Kindergarten.
Curriculum covers alphabet and writing, colors, shapes, numbers and counting, developing fine and gross motor skills, rhyming words, and access to books.
ELCs take place at community locations such as churches, schools, libraries, and community organizations.
Due to COVID-19, Early Learning Club sessions now take place online through videos.
