OUR MISSION

Early experiences last a lifetime. Our goal is for all children in Alliance to have high quality early
childhood experiences. Our mission is to support, promote, and create dynamic learning environments
for young children, which will serve and benefit families, businesses, and community partners through education and advocacy.
ECEA works to ensure that every child has access to enriching early experiences to enhance
development and enable them to enter school ready to succeed.  

PROGRAMS

​ECEA oversees the SPARK Alliance program.  SPARK is an acronym for Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids™.  SPARK Alliance is a free kindergarten readiness program for children who are ages 3-5 and reside in Alliance.  For more information about SPARK Alliance, or program availability in surrounding areas, please contact us.  We look forward to hearing from you.
