It’s an honor to have won the 2024 Non-Profit of the Year at the Manatee Chamber of Commerce 44th Annual Small Business of the Year Awards! As our CEO, Darrell King, so beautifully stated, “This recognition is truly deserved for our staff who each and every day work so hard to enhance the lives of so many children and support our local families and child care providers.” We are incredibly proud of the work we do, and we look forward to continuing our mission of supporting the community and creating lasting change. Congratulations to all the other winners for their hard work in making Manatee County great!

Today, the ELC distributed $106,000 in quality grants to local child care providers as they continue to recover from Hurricanes Helene and Milton. This emergency payment will assist providers in replacing outdoor playground equipment that has been lost or destroyed, classroom supplies that were damaged, and other materials needed to maintain the highest-quality learning environment in their centers. ELC Chief Executive Officer Darrell King paid tribute to the resilience and commitment once more shown by local child care providers to stay open and provide a safe learning environment for the community, especially the children of first responders, as they worked tirelessly to get Manatee County back on its feet. We hope that this $1,000 quality grant to each center can help them start rebuilding and replacing items that were destroyed. Read more here: https://conta.cc/40fRiTW

The Mosaic Company are celebrating 20 years of impacting our community. The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County (ELC) has been an extremely grateful recipient of their generosity and support of early education over many years. And their investment in our community continues! As we partner to help our Child Care Providers in the aftermath of back-to-back hurricanes, Mosaic is matching every donation, up to $1,000 dollar for dollar, for a maximum match of $200,000. All funds raised will help ELC support our Providers who have lost many of the things our youngest learners need to flourish – outdoor playground equipment, books, and classroom supplies. Your support is greatly appreciated. Please give by October 31, 2024! https://lnkd.in/ewAPaNr5
