Who we are
Dear Valued Community Member and Supporter,
We are reaching out with exciting news and an invitation to be part of something truly transformative for our community.
Our beautiful town of Ennis is growing, yet one essential resource has been missing: a place where our youngest children, infants and toddlers, can access affordable, high-quality early childhood education and specialized care. This unmet need has inspired a group of local families and community members to take action to create a reliable and sustainable solution.
We are proud to announce the establishment of Madison Valley Little Learners, Ennis’ first nonprofit and state-licensed early childhood education center founded specifically for children ages 0 to 3.
At Madison Valley Little Learners, children will learn and grow in a nurturing environment guided by a research-based curriculum, caring educators, and a community that values both education and working families. Parents will finally have access to reliable, local childcare, enabling them to stay in the workforce and continue contributing to the town we all love.
Our facility will be located in the lower level of the Madison Valley Presbyterian Church offering a safe, welcoming space with capacity for 12 children (6 infants and 6 toddlers). Additionally, we are thrilled to introduce our team:
Center Director: Danica Faussett
Lead Teacher: Sarah Bell
Teacher: Rebeca Vindas
Your generosity will directly support:
Operational start-up costs, including licensing, safety, and facility requirements
Staff training and livable wages to retain our highly qualified team of educators
Together, we can build something that will serve Ennis families for generations to come. Your support will have a profound and lasting impact on local families, children, and businesses. Every contribution brings us closer to welcoming the very first class of Madison Valley Little Learners.

Sincerely,
The MVLL Board of Directors
