Parent literacy together

Attention parents!

We want to help you:

• Feel empowered in learning activities at home with your child.
• Learn specific methods to support your children’s literacy skills.
• Boost your home literacy environment.

Parent Literacy Together is a program that helps you become more engaged in your children’s learning while you gain life skills and wellness tips. Weekly sessions include fun activities that will empower parents to become more confident “first teachers” of their children. Parents can also receive a “Your Home School” kit, filled with age-appropriate books, learning activities, and other supplies that create meaningful learning experiences for adult learners and their families. 

Free On-site Childcare

Introducing the Little Scholars Child Development Center! Through this partnership with Goodwill Industries of Southwestern Michigan, we now offer free childcare for ages 0-4 for children of parents who are studying with us. The center is staffed by Mr. Mike, a trained Early Learning Specialist, and features lots of fun activities so kids can enjoy learning while their parents learn.
