FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Early Learning Coalition Announces Changes to their Office Hours to Better Serve Families
Clearwater, Fla.  (June 30, 2016)  - In an effort to better serve Pinellas County families,  the Early Learning Coalition is extending their hours . Beginning Tuesday, July 5th, the Coalition is extending the office hours in all three of their locations--Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and their outpost office at Eckerd Community Alternatives (ECA) in Largo.  It's been a year of change for the Coalition--launching a new website at the start of the year, in addition to moving locations to Countryside Towers in April.  This newest change adds a full hour each day, making it easier for families to access Coalition services .   Lindsay Carson, CEO, feels that "the additional office hours will provide more flexibility for working families.  Our goal is to prepare children for academic success, and providing families with extended service hours is the first step."
