Based in Lakeland, Florida, the Early Learning Coalition of Polk County is a nonprofit organization that guides and coordinates early learning services in Polk County through leadership and integrated resource management. Its aim is to ensure that all children begin school healthy, ready, and eager to learn, with support from parents, families, educators, and the broader community. As a local coalition, it brings together partners across education and community services to align resources and improve the quality of early childhood programs. The coalition serves families with young children and educational partners by connecting them to quality early learning resources and services. In 2024, it formed a partnership with Winter Haven Hospital Foundation to provide more than 1,600 books to newborns delivered at Winter Haven Women's Hospital, illustrating collaboration with local institutions. The organization operates with a modest-sized staff and focuses on resource coordination to support early education in Polk County.
