What a great turnout for Skate Night this evening. Thanks to all who attended!


Are you interested in early childhood for your 3 or 4 year old? Start here! Our screening schedules are now open for March, April, and May. Currently enrolled students do not need an updated screening. These screenings are the first step in having your child be considered for enrollment at the East Moline Early Learning Center, and are a great way to check-up on their overall development! Call today to schedule an appointment with Tara in our office!


Five more days to get a Mr. Cub drink!!
