Children with access to high quality early learning experiences enter kindergarten ready to thrive, perform better in school, and are more likely to graduate and pursue higher education. Hewins ELC has incredible children who learn through play-based instruction. We not only serve approximately 350 children in four different preschool programs, but also have regular Child Find activities for three- to five- year-old children in the district with disability concerns.
