The Helen R. Walton Children's Enrichment Center is a nonprofit based in Bentonville, in Northwest Arkansas, offering high-quality early childhood education for children from six weeks old through pre-kindergarten. It aims to foster lifelong learning within a nurturing, healthy environment grounded in intentional play, exploration, and family well-being. The campus was designed and built with an emphasis on a toxin-minimized setting, using materials chosen to reduce exposure to harmful substances. The classrooms are led by experienced, degreed teachers and maintain low ratios to support individualized attention, alongside wraparound services for families facing financial hardship, including scholarships, food, coat and diaper assistance, and holiday and family engagement programs. In June 2025, the center announced the appointment of Anna Cannon as executive director, a recent leadership development for the nonprofit.
