Welcome to Early Language Academy

Early Language Academy (ELA) is a learning platform created by two licensed Speech-Language Pathologists dedicated to educating daycare providers, preschool teachers, parents and caregivers on how to support early communication development.

ELA is known for its "Daycare Provider Communication Competency Course", a professional learning course that equips providers with the tools to identify and refer for communication delays and teaches them practical strategies to create classrooms that actively support language growth and provide access to communication support.

For parents and caregivers, join ELA's communication community, which includes our weekly newsletter, mini language-strategy clips and the “Toddler Tips by Speech-Language Pathologists” podcast to learn practical and accessible communication strategies to implement in your daily routine.
