Taster's Choice 2026
Our Mission
Yellow Brick Road Early Learning Center, Inc., a non-profit organization offering educational programs for children ages six weeks to six years, is guided by the complementary values of social diversity, personal responsibility, and developmentally appropriate education.
Join us on May 2, 2026 at 4:30 for the only derby party in Lexington and to support Yellow Brick Road!
Event Details
Our Kentucky Derby-themed event is the school’s largest annual fundraiser featuring delicious food and drinks from professional and amateur chefs, live and silent auctions, live music, hat and best-dressed competitions, and a viewing of the race. This year, we expect 300+ attendees at the event. Yellow Brick Road is the only licensed childcare center in Rockbridge County for children ages six weeks to six years that offers financial aid and scholarships to families who would otherwise be unable to afford early childhood education. Every school day, every week, and every month, the teachers and staff of Yellow Brick Road work together to create a unique educational and social environment for all our students. Fantastic things happen here because each interaction is framed by enthusiasm, integrity, and loving care.
