TALLERES EN ESPAÑOL
Tenemos mucho de que hablar, y mucho de qué hacer. Todos nuestros talleres nos ayudan a conectar y abrir nuestra creatividad aun más!
First Teacher children enter kindergarten prepared because their parents or caregivers…
…are engaged in a supportive community built on relationships and trust that places parents and their power at the center of all we do.
…have an improved confidence and capacity in their role as their children’s first teachers.
…understand and capitalize on the everyday interactions that build their children’s brains.
…increase their time spent thoughtfully reading and talking with their children.
