Our early literacy program is for families of learners birth to four. We are dedicated to building the brains of our littlest learners. We are also dedicated to coaching families with learning and play strategies. Families are a child's first and most important teacher. During playgroups families can learn strategies to teach vocabulary through play, how to lengthen sentences, and why talking is so important to your child literacy development.

The achievement gap can start in the todder years. There is a 32 million word gap between professional families and families that live check to check. We can combat these 32 million words by talking, reading, and using new vocabulary during play.
