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.
