East End United Community Center

Little Legends is a childcare center facility and pre-school program which provides care for children between the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years old. Children who experience quality early education and childcare in our Little Legends Program receive long term benefits. Research shows that providing a high-quality education for children before they turn five yields significant medium- and long-term benefits for students. Children in early childhood education programs are less likely to repeat a grade, less likely to be identified as having special needs, more prepared academically for later grades, more likely to graduate from high school, and become higher earners in the workforce. Additionally, providing high-quality education for young children is also about racial and social justice. Access to effective, diverse programs breaks down structural barriers that have prevented all children–particularly children of color and children from disadvantaged families–from achieving their full potential.
