  • Reach out to parents and caregivers of young children. Give them skills, tools and support to develop a love of learning and school-readiness in the child.
  • Work alongside the existing system of family development programs to increase pre-literacy supports and program sustainability.
  • Work alongside community agencies to encourage and develop learning opportunities for youth to progress beyond their current capabilities.
