The Lee County School District is excited to be a part of the early learning collaboratives (ELC) in the state. Now in our second year, this program provides high-quality early childhood education pre-K programs to 4-year-old students. Mooreville Elementary, Saltillo Primary, Shannon Primary, and Verona Elementary campuses house our pre-K.

The Early Learning Collaborative Act of 2013 established the ELC program, which provides funding to local communities to establish, expand, support and facilitate the successful implementation of quality pre-K early childhood education and development services. The main goal of establishing ELCs is to better prepare preschoolers for kindergarten.
