Most importantly the United Way of Berks County continues to financially support the efforts of Baby University. Baby University focus is de

livering a comprehensive community based early care and education program for vulnerable young children, particularly those of Hispanic ethnicity, in the City of Reading, PA. Our emphasis is on enhancing early childhood literacy, helping parents, caregivers, childcare providers, and educators increase their capacity to facilitate learning readiness in young children; promoting effective parenting, and increasing access to early learning opportunities for young children with special needs. The approach to this project is simple: intervene early to avoid future negative outcomes; build on current strengths; provide a comprehensive continuum of support and services and systematically evaluate the initiatives process and programs.
