The Early Childhood Hub of Lane County is here to help you with the joys and challenges of raising a child during the early years, from birth to age 8. We are your local hub for parenting & caregiving help, and your guide to the community’s free or low-cost opportunities for play and learning.
We gather high-quality resources by working with schools, social services agencies, and other community partners, and we put them all here for your use. We do this because children who are healthy, stable, and ready for kindergarten are prepared to live their best lives. We are devoted to helping make that happen.
We are here for all parents, caregivers, and those serving that vital role. This includes people of all racial and ethnic identities, sexual orientations, gender identities, countries of origin, belief systems, ages, and abilities. We place extra emphasis on serving the children and families furthest from opportunity.
We previously served the community as LaneKids and the Lane Early Learning Alliance. The 2022 merger of our programs reflects the close connection between play and education, and kids and caregivers.
It’s Family Time!
