We've been proud to partner with Sunland Park Academy since 2018! This school year, Early Learning Tutors Romina and Olivia have delivered more than 1,200 tutoring sessions, helping shape brighter futures for young learners in South Florida.

Our partnership is made possible by the incredible team of staff and administrators at Sunland Park Academy, including Ms. Cara Tibble, who was awarded Early Learning Corps' Partner Teacher of the Year Award earlier this year! Cara’s advocacy for students and tutors has helped create an environment where students can make meaningful progress during the critical years of learning and development.
