  • What is the Early Childhood PTO?

    The EC PTO is an organization designed to represent expectant parents and parents of children birth to pre-kindergarten as citizens of the Brainerd School District and to strengthen and support families as they care for and grow with young children.

    Our goal is to provide a framework for coordinating fundraising and volunteer efforts.  All Early Childhood parents are encouraged to join the PTO.  Membership is a terrific way to meet other parents with similar interests and goals.

     

    How do I join the PTO?

    To join the EC PTO, please complete the PTO Application and return to the main office at the Brainerd Learning Center, 311 10th Ave NE, Brainerd, MN 56401.
