“Communities are more viable, prosperous, and resilient when we care for our youngest members and that is what LCC has been doing for 50 years.”

“The Leelanau Children Center has been a stepping stone for children across our community to play, learn, and connect in our sweet little corner of the world. For families like mine, it’s more than a school; it’s a place where meaningful connections are built and can last a lifetime.”
