Our Impact
-
"I have been coming to the Ready to Learn Program for the past 4 years. I love so many things about the program. I love being able to put a label on what my kids are doing in regards to their development. I am particularly grateful for learning how to help my kids be prepared for school, the importance of routines, and the importance of literacy. Ready to Learn is a great opportunity for my kids to interact with other kids and adults. The principles I have learned at Ready to Learn are now a part of my parenting. Even though the material is the same each year, I have felt each time that it is a ‘refresh’ and I am reminded of great information on child development and parenting skills."
