Early Learning Center Thanksgiving
21 November 2025
Putnam County’s Early Learning Center (ELC) has been a success since the educational and daycare space located in Patterson opened its doors to pre-kindergarten and special needs schoolchildren in September. On November 21 ELC educators and early intervention staff held a family Thanksgiving lunch for approximately two-dozen students. Afterwards the children presented a hand-drawn banner reading “We are Thankful for Your Support” to County Executive Kevin Byrne, an early and consistent champion of the high-quality learning center housed in the Hudson Valley InterArts building on Jon Barrett Road.
