Mission Statement
Scottdale Early Learning Center provides early education that fosters the intellectual, creative, social, emotional, and physical development of our students. We mitigate socioeconomic disadvantages through high-quality education, family involvement, and community engagement, ensuring that all students we serve are ready for kindergarten.
Description
Scottdale Early Learning, Inc. was founded in 1977 as a child development center within the Tobie Grant public housing community in Scottdale, Georgia, for residents struggling to find affordable, quality childcare. The needs of the local residents were discussed during a community improvement project; and as a result, the Scottdale Child Development center was created. Today, Scottdale provides both center-based and community-based early care and education services to a diverse group of children and families, with the central goal of increasing the rate of 5-year-old children who are ready to enter kindergarten.
