EARLY LEARNING VILLAGE

Early Learning Village is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Franklin County school district, located in Frankfort, KY with about 324 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 23 teachers, Early Learning Village has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Early Learning Village, located at 200 Laralan Ave in Frankfort, Kentucky, serves as a dedicated educational facility within the Franklin County School District. As a specialized center for the district’s youngest students, the school focuses exclusively on early childhood development, catering specifically to preschool and pre-kindergarten children. Its mission is centered on providing a strong foundational start to education, emphasizing school readiness, social-emotional growth, and early literacy and numeracy skills in a nurturing, age-appropriate environment.

The facility is designed to support diverse learning needs, often integrating programs for students with developmental delays alongside typically developing peers to foster an inclusive classroom culture. By concentrating resources and specialized staff in one location, the Early Learning Village aims to create a consistent, high-quality learning experience that prepares children for the transition into elementary school. Through play-based curriculum and structured developmental activities, the school plays a vital role in the Frankfort community by bridging the gap between home and the formal K-12 education system.
