ORLANDO – It’s often what happens in the earliest stages of life that determine how successful children will be when they enter the classroom. To ensure a smooth transition, it’s critical for kids to get the proper care, guidance and instruction before starting grade school.
The Early Learning Coalition of Orange County (ELCOC) is a prominent nonprofit organization devised to help prepare children for the next phase of their lives. With recent assistance from the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF), more youth are flourishing in nearby schools.
ELCOC received a $65,000 grant this year from the OMYF, who has donated $22 million over the past 27 years to those most in need throughout Central Florida.
