Child & Adult Care Food Program
​Elizabeth's Early Learning Center is a sponsor of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The same meals will be available at no separate charge to all participants at this facility without regard to race, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity.
Elizabeth’s Early Learning Center has been recognized as an accredited early childhood education program by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Less than 10% of schools in the nation have obtained this accreditation. From our inception, our priority has been to uphold the very highest standards in early childhood education.
Our Programs
Elizabeth’s Early Learning Center was established in 1997 by Elizabeth M. Forsyth as a not-for-profit early learning center. The Center is inclusive to all children. In addition to providing one of the finest childcare facilities in Virginia, Elizabeth Forsyth also created an endowment that provides financial assistance to families and benefits all children at EELC.
The Center provides year-round, full-day childcare services and early childhood education for children ages 6 weeks through kindergarten. The Center embraces all children regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic level, religion, or ability.
