SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla., June 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Seminole, which oversees the School Readiness and Voluntary Pre-kindergarten programs in Seminole County, is the first ELC in Florida to partner with MarcoPolo Learning. This partnership will provide high-quality, digital educational resources to the ELC of Seminole's network of over 200 child care providers.
