We lead and support the early learning community to promote and deliver high-quality early learning experiences to young children, accessible to all eligible families in Broward County.
Early Learning Coalition of Broward County Inc channels very large, repeated reimbursements into child care operations and early learning services across Broward County. The largest recent award in the file is a $3,842,976 payment to The School Board of Broward County for child care reimbursements and other non-recurring grants to providers, and similar multi-million-dollar grants appear throughout the recent record. Their grants support childcare, Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, School Readiness, Child Care Resource & Referral, provider training, family services, and outreach, with support flowing to centers, family child care homes, and the public school system. The pattern is operational rather than programmatic in the narrow sense: grants are used to stabilize providers, cover reimbursement-based support, and keep early learning options available for eligible families in Broward County. Repeated awards to The School Board of Broward County, Kinderworld Pre-school Center II Inc, and Preschool Ventures of Oakland Park Inc show a funder that stays involved with the same local providers over multiple years, often through ongoing childcare funding rather than one-time project awards.
The coalition’s grantmaking is anchored in early childhood care continuity. In 2025, it gave $3,568,534 to Kuehg Corp Dba Kindercare Education LLC in Lake Oswego for child care reimbursements and other non-recurring grants to providers. It also supported provider stabilization through $1,473,892 to Youth Investments of Pembroke Pines Inc in 2025 for the same purpose. Child care operations appear repeatedly in the record, including awards to Jack & Jill Children's Center Inc and Kinderworld Pre-school Center II Inc for childcare support. The organization also backs school-based early learning: The School Board of Broward County received major grants for childcare in 2023 and 2024. Across these awards, the common thread is direct operating support for providers rather than short project-only funding.
Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $69,841, the median is $186,450, and the 75th percentile is $382,407. The recent record shows recurring support to the same recipients over multiple years, including The School Board of Broward County, Kinderworld Pre-school Center II Inc, and Preschool Ventures of Oakland Park Inc, which points to ongoing provider relationships rather than isolated awards. The funder is a Regular Funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are reimbursement-based and short-term in structure, with a strong emphasis on direct provider support and operational relief.

Grantmaking is overwhelmingly local: 99% of grants go to recipients in Florida, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Broward County communities show up repeatedly, including Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Hollywood, North Lauderdale, Sunrise, Coral Springs, Miramar, Pompano Beach, and Margate. The file also includes one out-of-state recipient location in Lake Oswego, tied to a national child care operator, but the overall pattern remains centered in Florida.
The grant record points to early childhood education, Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, School Readiness and child care financial assistance, Child Care Resource & Referral, provider training and quality improvement, and family services and outreach. The funding is aimed at young children, families, and the providers that serve them.
Yes. The recent grants list is full of direct awards to providers such as Kinderworld Pre-school Center II Inc, Jack & Jill Children's Center Inc, and Preschool Ventures of Oakland Park Inc. The stated funding approach includes direct provider support, reimbursement-based funding, and operational or financial relief.
The grant-size distribution is fairly high for a local funder: the 25th percentile is $69,841, the median is $186,450, and the 75th percentile is $382,407. Recent awards also include multi-million-dollar reimbursements to major providers and school-based recipients.
The pattern is recurring. The same recipients appear in multiple years, including The School Board of Broward County, Kinderworld Pre-school Center II Inc, and Preschool Ventures of Oakland Park Inc. That suggests ongoing provider relationships rather than a one-off grant cycle.
The giving is highly concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 99% of grants. Recent recipient cities include Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Hollywood, North Lauderdale, Sunrise, Coral Springs, Miramar, Pompano Beach, and Margate.
