Promoting sustainable, early childhood education and literacy
The Tallahatchie Early Learning Alliance (TELA) is a nonprofit supported by the Tallahatchie River Foundation, the Mississippi Pre-K Collaborative Grant, as well as local donors.
TELA believes that when children Thrive By 3rd grade, their lifelong success drives a promising future for society. The organization invests in early childhood education throughout Mississippi communities that collaborate, achieve, and sustain efforts to improve child outcomes by 3rd grade.
Working together with GoMo Health, the Tallahatchie Early Learning Alliance sought ways to increase awareness of the importance of early education and also provide families, educators, and communities with tools for developing children’s language and literacy at home.
