With so many young children moving about in one place, distraction-free driving is a must while on the Early Learning Center campus. Please drive slowly and cautiously at all times while at the ELC due to the unpredictable nature of three, four, five, and six-year-old children. Please discontinue the use of cell phones and all devices that may distract you from driving on our school campus. Thank you!
