A free family literacy program created to give families opportunities to be actively involved in learning together. The major components of the program are:

Adult Education , Early Childhood Education ,
Parenting Education & Support , Parent & Child Together Time , Home Visits .

Children participate in a developmentally appropriate curriculum designed to meet the needs of your growing child in all areas of development (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive). Activities are planned to encourage language development, promote self-esteem, and reinforce positive feelings about learning. We desire the child to participate 80 hours a month.
