Community Education--Eastern Carver Co Schools

The family literacy program provides parent/s and their children access to the exciting world of learning and opportunities. Our goal is to build literacy skills across generations and help families acquire the tools they need to grow and thrive. Families with children 6 weeks - 5 who are interested in learning English are encouraged to apply. Parent/s attend with their children four days per week in the afternoon. Adults will have time to focus on personal educational needs as well as parenting education opportunities. Children will enjoy quality age appropriate learning.
