FTELC - History

The Five Towns Early Learning Center has a long and deep history in the Five Towns area. It is one of the oldest child care centers in Nassau County on Long Island. The Five Towns Cooperative Child Care Center was established in the 1930's as a private child care center. By 1943, the Child Care Center received funding from the Lanham Act. The Second World War created a need for child care centers to care for children whose mothers went to work. After World War II, federal money no longer sponsored day care centers. However, the Five Towns Cooperative Child Care Center was kept alive by parents and concerned members of the community who recognized a continuing need for child care. The Five Towns Early Learning Center, Inc. is a non-profit, non-sectarian child care center licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and contracted with Nassau County Department of Social Services for purchase of child care services. The Center is located at 112 Wahl Avenue, Inwood, in the Town of Hempstead, in the southern portion of Nassau County.
