At SARA (Southern Association for Reading Advancement), we believe that every child deserves a strong start. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our first Nonprofit Early Learning Center, designed to support families and help children reach their full potential from the very beginning.
Early childhood is a crucial time for brain development, language growth, and learning habits that carry into later school years. Unfortunately, many children enter kindergarten already behind, especially in key areas like reading and language. Our goal is simple: make sure no student is left behind due to a lack of early academic support.
By providing high-quality early learning opportunities, we’re stepping in before the gaps widen—offering families a dependable, educational environment where their children can thrive.
We’re taking a measured, community-focused approach as we open our doors:
This rollout ensures we maintain high standards while growing with purpose and care.
SARA Early Learning Center blends trusted educational tools with our own local expertise to create a strong, well-rounded foundation for each child.
We use the Experience Curriculum by Brightwheel, known nationwide for its hands-on, age-appropriate learning model. This program is designed to promote early reading, math, and problem-solving skills through engaging, theme-based activities.
We’ve also developed our own academic curriculum tailored to the children and families in our community. With a strong emphasis on early literacy, vocabulary building, and classroom readiness, our approach ensures each child is prepared to succeed when they enter kindergarten and beyond.
Students will begin learning basic American Sign Language (ASL) as part of our regular programming. This enhances communication skills, supports early language development, and offers another tool to strengthen overall learning.
We partner with local music teachers and musicians to bring engaging, high-quality music instruction to our students. Music helps improve memory, concentration, and language development—and it adds joy and rhythm to the learning experience.
At SARA, we are committed to educational advancement—not just for the individual child, but for the future of our community. Our Early Learning Center is a reflection of that mission: reliable, academically strong, and built with families in mind.
We are here to ensure that every child has the chance to succeed, no matter where they start.
We welcome families, educators, volunteers, and supporters to join us as we build something lasting. Your partnership helps us create a space where children can grow, learn, and shine—right here at home.
