Our Story
How Mountain Learning Enrichment Serves Our Community
Mountain Learning Enrichment is housed on the property at Blue Ridge Activity & Tumbling Center and the Mountain City Playhouse. This unique setting allows the program to draw from a wide range of resources that strengthen the activities, enrichment opportunities, and developmental support offered to children and families throughout the community. The location provides room for continued growth and expansion, creating opportunities to serve more families across Rabun County and beyond.
The property also creates the potential to expand programming for older youth and adults, particularly individuals with special needs who benefit from structured, supportive activities. By offering active-based opportunities that promote movement, creativity, and connection, Mountain Learning Enrichment helps support the health and wellness of the family unit as a whole while also fostering a deeper appreciation for the unique culture, arts, and heritage of Rabun County.
