Early Learning Resource Center

The Early Learning Resource Center (ELRC) is a “drop-in” resource center available to all Rowan County families and child care professionals caring for children birth to five years of age.

Child care professionals and families can borrow books, educational toys, puzzles, and puppets from our lending library.  For a minimal fee, of only $10.00 annually for parents, you can check out over 500 books, learning kits, and educational toys. Child care professionals and parents may complete a membership form online.

Smart Start Rowan's Early Learning Resource Center is open Monday thru Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
