Early Literacy Programs for Children, Parents & Educators

Our early literacy programming meets the diverse needs of young children (ages birth to 5), parents and educators.

Our two signature programs work together: Educator Literacy Collaborative (formerly The Story Project) equips early educators in childcare and preschool settings with coaching and resources, while Birth to Five Literacy Journey (formerly Story School) supports parents in fostering their child’s learning through bilingual, evidence-based learning experiences in trusted community spaces.
