They are part of Florida’s Office of Early Learning, overseen by the Florida Department of Education. Each coalition operates within a specific region and works to ensure that children from birth to age five have access to high-quality early learning programs.

The Early Learning Coalition of the Emerald Coast serves families and child care providers in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
