EARLY LEARNING COALITION OF PALM BEACH COUNTY

Building community-wide commitment for comprehensive, high-quality early learning environments that benefit the children and families of Palm Beach County... For years, Florida was challenged with providing quality early childhood education to help children be prepared for kindergarten... As a result of this challenge, in 1999, the Legislature enacted the School Readiness Act (s. 411.01, F.S.), which consolidated each of the early childhood education and childcare programs across the state into one integrated program of school readiness services. Specifically, the act created the Florida Partnership for School Readiness to coordinate school readiness programs administered by local school readiness coalitions at the county or multi-county level.
