About MLLC

Who are we?

We are a learning cooperative made up of parents, grandparents, educators, and community members who care about learning opportunities for youth in our community.  We started as a small playgroup that evolved into a parent-led toddler program and eventually became the Mountain Laurel Learning Cooperative (MLLC), a non-profit educational organization.
