Austin: An Early Learning Community
What is an Early Learning Community? It’s a place where babies are welcomed into families that have all the opportunities and support they need to nurture and promote their children’s early learning and healthy development.

Developed and piloted by ELN partners, the Center for the Study of Social Policy and the National League of Cities, the digital Progress Rating Tool (PRT) is available 24/7. Gather stakeholders. Evaluate your efforts. Explore robust tips, lessons and resources to create a step-by-step action plan to create a thriving Early Learning Community.

"Preparation is the key to success.”
– Alexander Graham Bell

Thank you for being an engaged partner in our community -- you help make this a community where residents can live, learn, work and play. Strong schools and families also make this a great community and your support helps to ensure we maintain our high quality schools while accommodating our growing student population and providing a quality environment for our kids to learn.

“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.”
– Jean Vanier
