Elgin Partnership for Early Learning is poised to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a change the group hopes will help it grow and prepare more area children for kindergarten. The organization, which works to ensure that children 5 years old and younger have access to quality early care and education in Elgin and the surrounding communities, recently received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. "I think it will strengthen our opportunities for funding," said EPEL Executive Director Amber Peters. "It will help us stand alone as we continue to work with our partners but also be recognized as our own entity.
