ELV Executive Director

About Early Learning Ventures (ELV)

Early Learning Ventures (ELV) is a nationally recognized, mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the childcare ecosystem by equipping providers with innovative technology and operational solutions. Our software suite streamlines administrative processes, ensures regulatory compliance, and expands access to high-quality early childhood education for families and communities.

Founded in 2009 by the David + Laura Merage Foundation, ELV was created to advance the vision of universal access to high-quality early learning. In 2016, ELV became an independent public nonprofit and continues to operate from its headquarters within the Foundation’s offices.

We understand that most childcare providers are small businesses—deeply committed to children yet often lacking the resources to optimize quality and efficiency. ELV addresses this gap through a robust suite of back-office supports, including Alliance CORE , our licensing-compliant childcare management system, designed to reduce administrative burdens and elevate performance for providers of all sizes.

More than a technology provider, ELV pioneered a Child Care Shared Services model that combines operational excellence with technological innovation. Today, this model spans 20 states—and we are poised for significant growth. The incoming Executive Director will lead the charge to accelerate this national expansion and amplify our impact[SR1] .
