About
Early childhood literacy and development: The organization works to improve health and school readiness among pre-school children by empowering parents and caregivers to be their children's first teachers. Programs include Raising a Reader, which provides book distributions to low-income preschools; Bornlearning, which provides parent education materials, books and resources to families of newborns and young children; and a book-of-the-month club, which provides free children's books to more than 440 families each month. Bornlearning trails have been installed in six local parks, providing educational activities for parents to engage in with their children as they enjoy time together at play.
