📣 WE'RE DOUBLING IN SIZE! Earlville CUSD 9 is expanding our daycare... we're doubling the size of our EELC building to serve even more of our amazing community! 🏗️🌟 More space. More kids. More opportunity. Our community deserves the best, and we're building it! Stay tuned for more updates as construction gets underway! Today (6/18/26) The individual modulars will be delivered. Please no parking in the lot behind the "Old Gym". Construction will be completed before August, so we can complete all of the inspections and be ready for children on August 17. EELC ENROLLMENT: We do have a few spaces left, but they are filling QUICKLY. Contact aschultz@earlville9.org for an enrollment packet. BASEBALL FIELD: We are relocating the baseball field to the south of our property. Once the plans are finalized we will post about that construction. With the moving of the baseball field, this will allow us to offer JH baseball ⚾️ at the school. This year we are piloting junior high softball. 🥎 Thank YOU Earlville for all of the support and being D2E (Dedicated to Excellence)!
