Parent-Child Literacy Programs

A variety of Parent-Child literacy groups are offered throughout the year. Literacy Groups are a great time for parents and children to learn together, read books and strengthen basic literacy skills – words and numbers.

Parent/Child Groups strengthen bonds and support families in making connections with other families. 

Participants are also connected to the public library and other community resources.
