The Early Learning Center

The Early Learning Center (ELC), sponsored by the West Hartford Public Schools, offers a continuum of services to West Hartford preschoolers (ages 3-5), parents, and community preschools.  The program is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a national, voluntary, professionally sponsored accreditation system. This means that the ELC of West Hartford has demonstrated a commitment to providing a high quality program for young children and their families.

• speech/language development
