Every child deserves access to high-quality early learning experiences that help them thrive in school and in life. The Unified Early Learning System (UELS) is a collaborative effort to strengthen and connect Akron's early childhood landscape so families can more easily access quality care and support, while providers receive the resources they need to succeed.

The initiative's long-term vision is a connected provider community where every family can access high-quality early learning, regardless of the type of child care setting they choose.
