The Educational Resource Center is a membership based lending library of educational toys, games, and learning materials. In addition, we provide: free consultation to members in selecting learning materials; networking opportunities; low cost copying, binding, and lamination; assessment tools; and classes and workshops for parents, teachers, and children.
A membership might be right for you if you are:
A family desiring access to a rotating selection of educational toys, games, and learning activities for your pre-K through sixth grade children
A teacher or day care provider wishing to supplement your curriculum in an affordable way
A homeschooler who wants affordable access to learning materials that grow with your child
A tutor or a family who wishes to self tutor without purchasing expensive materials
