ELC caregivers kicked off the year w/teamwork & purpose. Inspiring speakers & meaningful sessions set the tone for this year. Our theme, Together We Grow, is more than a motto, it’s a commitment to growing as a team, supporting each other, and nurturing every child along the way.

Welcome back ELC staff! Thanks for choosing CFISD and joining us on the path to amazing! These 5 employee day care centers and incredible staff take care of CFISD’s littlest learners with the highest of standards.

Our ELC Administrators met and we collaborated, connected, & planned for an exciting year ahead. Our theme is: Together, We Grow! 🌱🌸— and the growth starts now! "Alone we grow, but together we thrive.” 🌟 Here's to a year of learning, leading, and growing as one ELC family!
