Family Resources
Our family resources bring learning to life beyond the classroom—connecting home, school, and community through hands-on, culturally grounded experiences. Family events, literacy check-out kits, seasonal guides and resources support families in learning together at home while also fostering collaboration with schools and community partners for shared events and celebrations.
Through grant funded projects, we love partnering with families to nurture curiosity, problem-solving, and early literacy in every environment where children grow and thrive.
Our preschool program is grounded in the Strengthening Families Framework, which promotes five protective factors that support strong families and positive child outcomes: Parental Resilience, Social Connections, Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development, Concrete Support in Times of Need, and Social and Emotional Competence of Children.
