Celebrate 5 Years. Invest in the Future.

EC LEARN (Early Childhood Learning Education Assessment Resource Network) was established in June 2020 to provide critical early childhood education resources to families, early childhood professionals, and employers in 12 Northern Kentucky counties and 8 counties in Kentucky’s Salt River Region. Every day, our work strengthens child care and education in the communities we serve — from professional training for providers, to referral connections for families and employers, to advocacy for a stronger early childhood system. At a time when quality child care is more important than ever, EC LEARN is proud to create impact that lasts a lifetime — for children, families, and the future of Northern Kentucky’s workforce.


Now, we’re turning FIVE — and we’re throwing ourselves a Birthday Bash to celebrate thousands of lives changed and the bright future ahead! 🎉

This will be our biggest fundraiser yet, with a goal to raise $25,000 in support of families, early childhood professionals, and communities across Northern Kentucky and beyond. Join us for a playful evening featuring:

🎈 Fun activities and networking — including adult piñatas, a gift card pull, and more!

🥂 Drinks and light refreshments

🍰 Of course… CAKE!

✨ A brief program celebrating five years of impact, honoring our EC LEARN Champions, and sharing our bold vision for the future

🌟 A Wish Wall where you can add your voice to Kentucky's future

Let's party with a purpose — and invest in brighter futures, together.


🎁 Bid, Play, and Give Forward!

Our 5th Birthday Bash will feature a silent auction filled with unique items, local experiences, and special surprises — all donated by generous community partners. This year, our auction includes a brand-new "Gift It Forward" category — a unique opportunity to bid on a gift that goes directly to a deserving early childhood educator in our community. When you win, you're not taking home a prize — you're giving one. It's a powerful way to say thank you to the people who show up every day for our youngest learners.

Proceeds from the auction help us reach our $25,000 goal to support families, early childhood professionals, and a stronger workforce in Northern Kentucky.

Check out our live auction: https://eclearn.auctions.networkforgood.com/auctio...

Bidding ends at 6:15pm on Thursday, June 4.
