Welcome to Burrillville's Early Learning Center!

We are so excited to announce that the Burrillville ELC will be opening its doors for the start of the 2024-2025 school year!  Located in the Burrillville High School building, the ELC will house our morning and afternoon preschool programs, as well as walk-in therapy for speech and language.
