The Tallahatchie Early Learning Alliance (TELA), an initiative of the SonEdna Foundation, brings families, educators, and local changemakers together to strengthen early learning and set the stage for lifelong success.
A unified Tallahatchie community where children from birth to third grade thrive while developing into lifelong learners.
TELA informs and connects community members in Tallahatchie County to promote and increase successful early child development.
We focus on birth through third grade, when brain development, language, and learning matter most. We build collaboration across the community, align efforts, and support partnerships grounded in shared responsibility.
Our goal is clear: to ensure every child in Tallahatchie County can Thrive By Third grade.
TELA. Thrive By Third.
TELA works across the full early learning continuum: Birth to 3, Age 4 (Pre-K), Kindergarten to Third Grade
