For a young child, everything is a learning experience. An early learning program, such as child care, Head Start or PA Pre-K Counts, can impact how well children do in kindergarten, school, and in life. Children who attend a quality child care or early learning program, enter school ready to learn. They are also more likely to graduate high school, attend college, and get good jobs.

Pennsylvania's Early Learning Resource Centers (ELRCs) provide a single point-of-contact for families, early childhood education professionals, and communities to get information and access services that support quality child care and early learning programs.
