ABOUT US

The Carroll County Learning Center was incorporated in 1974 by a group of concerned individuals and business owners in Carroll County who knew the need for quality services for persons with disabilities was needed and after forming the non-profit, began operation in the basement of the local Methodist Church.  What began with just a few students and two staff persons has now grown to over 65 employees and services to more than 200 individuals. The Learning Center is a private, non-profit organization serving individuals, birth to adults, with developmental disabilities in Carroll and Madison counties.  The Board of Directors is a mix of community leaders and parents or family members of persons with disabilities.  These individuals serve without compensation yet provide leadership, dedication and a passion for the success of the Learning Center and its mission.  The Carroll County Learning Center continually meets the stringent requirements of the licensing entities of the Department of Education, Division of Developmental Disabilities, and Child Care Licensing. Transportation, therapy and Free Lunch Program are available at all locations.
