Family Programs

Soup & Stories1Our Family Literacy programs are designed for the entire family and focus on unplugging from technology and spending stress-free quality time together. At any of these programs caregivers learn tips and techniques for supporting their children with reading, writing, numeracy, and critical thinking. We give support and resources to families to aid in their efforts to increase their literacy skills and confidence as a family.
