The ELC has collected classroom materials for our teachers with the help of HCA Florida Blake Hospital. The School Supply Station is loaded with learning materials, school supplies, and all the educational cargo teachers may need during the school year to use at their early learning centers to help with learning in young children.
The School Supply Station is available to all VPK or School Readiness providers in Manatee County. Earn points by participating in any Early Learning Coalition initiative. Each item is worth one point in the School Supply Station. The Early Learning Coalition will keep track of points, and you can call the number below to check how many points that you have available.
If you have an immediate need for supplies, please fill out and submit a School Supply Request Form. All requests will be considered but not guaranteed. These requests will be reviewed once a month, and you will hear back on the status of your request after it has been reviewed.
The School Supply Station is located at the office of the Early Learning Coalition and is available by appointment only. The address is 600 8th Avenue West, Suite 100, Palmetto, FL 34221. Shopping is available during our business hours and by appointment only.
The Early Learning Coalition reserves the right to modify the points awarded for each initiative
and the value of the supplies in the School Supply Station.
