ELV Alliances Model

An Early Learning Ventures Alliance (ELV Alliance) is a network of centers and family child care homes working together to strengthen both the quality and fiscal stability of their programs. ELV Alliances provide quality support, administrative services, comprehensive child development, and family resources. Child care providers, who are affiliates of an ELV Alliance, are able to focus on their core business of delivering high-quality services to children and families. ELV Alliance providers are committed, dedicated, and focused on your child and family.

What is an ELV Alliance?

ELV Alliances are community-based networks comprised of small early care and education businesses (nonprofit or for profit) that work together to deliver services in a more streamlined and efficient way. The ELV Alliance model ensures fiscal stability and superior business operations, which are the foundation for delivering high quality early learning services.

A New Business Model

Early Learning Ventures Alliance is an innovative shared service business approach that will serve as a model for the early care and education (ECE) industry. This initiative is spearheaded by Early Learning Ventures, a nonprofit organization, established by the David and Laura Merage Foundation to promote ECE incentives that are result oriented.

How Alliances Improve Quality

ELV Alliances will strengthen business operations and enhance quality in the ECE industry. Each Alliance will support approximately 100 affiliate child care business, including family child care providers, faith-based centers, and other small ECE centers. By participating in an ELV Alliance, ECE businesses are more sustainable and better able to deliver high quality, affordable, comprehensive services in a range of settings.
