The Ortonville Early Childhood Initiative Commits to building community partnerships that enhance child care, educational opportunities and family support for children birth to age 5.

Ortonville Early Childhood Coalition

Young children are the most powerless members of our society—they rely on adults for their care and to be their voice.  The Ortonville Early Childhood coalition, in partnership with the Southwest Initiative Foundation, is engaging community members from all generations and perspectives to focus on and positively impact Ortonville’s youngest citizens—children birth to age 5.  Our coalition was launched in 2006 as part of the Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative, a community based, early care and education project across Greater Minnesota sponsored by the McKnight Foundation and the Minnesota Initiative Foundations.

The coalition is always open to new ideas and perspectives so please consider joining us!  All interested community members, parents and providers who live or work in Ortonville are welcome.  Please “Contact Us” for more information or to join our team!
