Parent Educators work with families to develop personal literacy goals, provide resources, and help ensure a successful transition to kindergarten.

The Family Literacy Program is implemented through personal visits, screenings, and group meetings.

• Personal Visits: A parent educator, specially trained in child development, will meet with your family individually to give your child a head start. 
• Screenings: Developmental screenings offer parents a quick and effective way to look at how their child is learning and growing in the areas of health, vision, hearing, communication, physical development, problem solving, and social/emotional development. 
• Group Meetings: Group meetings offer parents an opportunity to join with other families as you discover more about your child's development. Sessions include playgroups, workshops, family activities, and other topics of interest.
