Reading aloud 15 minutes a day with a child is one of the best gifts you can provide.

Please plan to attend this very informative meeting on Wednesday evening. We will be there to register new children. Stop by to say hello.

Tonight we are at Parent’s Place at Stratford Academy at Preschool Information Night. All of Stratford’s resources for families are here.

Once again, we thank Barrett Outdoors for displaying our billboard on I 95. They generously provide this for us at no cost. Be on the lookout for it and spread the word. 🙂

Did you know? Children are three times more likely to encounter new words during a read-aloud session than in regular conversation. Reading aloud strengthens the connection between child and reader, creating a nurturing environment that promotes emotional security and empathy.

Here is an opportunity for you and your children. I met with the owner of Obodo Bookstore in Paradise Green this week. She is offering various programs for you and your children. It’s a wonderful place to engage in more reading with your child! We hope you can stop by.
