Begin your child's school life in the highest quality educational setting — come and see what children need to become critical thinkers and joyous, self-directed learners at the Early Learning Community (ELC)!

We know it feels as if the school year has just begun, but we’re already thinking about the 2026-27 school year here at the ELC. As we approach enrollment season we are excited for folks from our community — here at Pacific University and beyond — to visit our school and learn more about our Preschool - 4th Grade programs.

Significant research and work have already been conducted by a Freedom of Expression Task Force, approved by the University Council in October of 2022. In May 2025, the University Council agreed to reestablish a new task force during the 2025-26 academic year to continue this work. The Provost, as chair of the University Council, is seeking nominations of faculty and staff to fill two faculty member positions and two staff member positions. Given the scope of this project, the time commitment is estimated to be between 3-5 hours per month, but may vary depending on the progress of the work. We anticipate that the completion of this work will be spring of 2026.
