READ WITH ME
Reading with your child is more than just story time. It’s a way to connect, share language, and build a love of learning. When families read and learn together, children grow strong in both their minds and hearts. These moments strengthen relationships, support language development, and help children see themselves and their culture in the stories they hear. Every story shared is a step toward helping your child dream, learn, and thrive.
