History of the Auxiliary
The Early Learning Indiana Auxiliary was founded in 1938 by Mrs. James T. Cunningham, a board member of the Day Nursery Association (now Early Learning Indiana). Together with a team of women, the group was dedicated to supporting and advancing the organization’s mission through their volunteer work.
Since then,Early Learning Indiana Auxiliary members have cared for and educated thousands of Hoosier children by volunteering many hours of service, assisting teachers in classrooms, fundraising, and serving as champions in our community by advocating for the benefits and importance of early childhood education.
