Here at AELC we believe early intervention is best practice. We have partnered with MSU to bring free speech screenings and speech therapy to the children in our care.

AELC is an intergenerational learning environment! Pictured above is a university lab student who’s able to learn from the AELC children, a younger preschool teacher who believes her students are her biggest teachers, and an aspiring gym teacher who’s able to practice their craft with AELC’s older preschool students.
