Our two girls are currently attending the Leelanau Children's Center in Leland. I could not speak more highly of the team of leaders, caregivers and teachers. They uphold the highest standards of early childhood education, with a never ending love for each and every child that steps foot through the door. The play and relationship based curriculum enriches and engages the youngest of children, enhancing the entire the world around them. I would recommend the Leelanau Children's Center to everyone. They are the best, we are incredibly lucky to have them in our community.

Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Child Day Care, Children & Youth, Education, Human Services, Preschools
Mission: CHILDREN MATTER. Nurturing and empowering young children and families since 1976.
Results: In the first five years of life the brain develops the architecture upon which all later development and learning is founded. Young children offer a once in a lifetime opportunity to change the brain and make a difference for a lifetime. Since our founding in 1976, the Leelanau Children's Center, with the generosity of our donor community, has helped to make that difference for thousands of children.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 113 children and 80 families with the support of 20 staff, 12 board members, and dozens of volunteers and community partners!
Geographic areas served: Serving Northwest Michigan and Leelanau County with Centers in Leland.
Programs: Young children and families from all backgrounds and needs flourish at the Leelanau Children's Center, in an environment that nurtures relationships and developmentally appropriate, play-based learning for preschoolers and toddlers. Our goal is not to teach children facts and figures, but to capitalize on their innate curiosity and zest for life. Only in early childhood do we have the opportunity to develop the thinking skills and social/emotional readiness that set the stage for a fulfilling and productive life. The Leelanau Children's Center is a leader in high-quality early childhood education and family support programming, and is one of less than 3% of preschool programs to be given a five-star rating by the Michigan Department of Education.
