FORT MYERS, Fla. - Floridant -- Child Care of Southwest Florida received a $25,000 grant from The League Club to support needs-based tuition scholarships at its early learning centers in Lee County.

The generous grant will provide the families of more than 60 students with preschool scholarship assistance, empowering at-risk children with affordable, high-quality early learning opportunities. The funding also helps remove financial constraints that allow parents to pursue, maintain and enhance their careers while furthering their child's education.

"We are incredibly grateful to The League Club and its members for their generous support," said Chris Hansen, CEO of Child Care of Southwest Florida. "This $25,000 grant will make a meaningful difference for families in our community by providing children with access to the quality learning experiences they deserve. Investing in early childhood education is investing in our future, and together, we can ensure every child has access to opportunities that will help them thrive."
