The purpose of the Early Learning Coalition of Sarasota County is to ensure that all children enter school ready to learn, with the solid foundation to grow and develop. Ready for Learning, Ready for Life is our goal for every child. To fulfill its mission, the Coalition oversees a broad range of services to promote high quality child care and early learning environments and support parents as they nurture the learning potential of their children. The ELC serves over 4000 children and assists over 220 child care providers in Sarasota each year. The Early Learning Coalition works with many community partners such as United Way Success By 6, the Healthy Start Coalition, and the Sarasota Partnership for Children’s Mental Health, to ensure positive outcomes for our community’s young children. Our joint effort to facilitate the Ready, Set, Grow! Infant to Kindergarten Family Fair is one example of our partnership.
The mission of the Healthy Start Coalition of Sarasota County is to improve the health and well-being of pregnant women, infants and young children. We provide free services for pregnant women and new parents. We have four programs: Healthy Start Direct Services, MomCare, Save My Life and Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Project. The Healthy Start Coalition of Sarasota County, Healthy Start Direct Services and MomCare all have booths at this year’s fair. The Healthy Start Direct Services Program begins with a simple survey issued to each pregnant woman at her first prenatal visit. Answers on the survey are confidential and will help assess if there is a need for additional services. Healthy Start’s free services include: Home visits, classes or counseling. MomCare is a Medicaid program for pregnant women. MomCare can direct pregnant women how to apply for Pregnancy Medicaid insurance. Once coverage is approved, MomCare Advisors will help pregnant women find a prenatal care provider who takes Pregnancy Medicaid insurance. Pregnant women in MomCare will also learn about local resources to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

United Way Success By 6 (SB6) Initiative builds strong community partnerships, so that children birth to age six will be prepared for kindergarten. As a part of the largest early childhood coalition in the nation, the local SB6 provides: activity filled early learning calendars, crisis preschool scholarships and this fair. The problems facing America’s children are serious and complex, requiring a focus on the underlying causes and strategies that get to the heart of the problem. By improving the way community services are delivered, maximizing resources for young children and families, and creating lasting changes, all children can succeed for life. We hope you and your children have enjoyed the Fair and received a copy of the Ready, Set, Grow! Getting Ready for Kindergarten calendar.
