Family Literacy

WHAT IS FAMILY LITERACY?

• Family Literacy combines early childhood education and adult basic education. 

• The program will assist parents in learning to become self-sufficient while learning how to help their children succeed. 

• Above all, Family Literacy is an educational program which supports and encourages parents and children as they develop the skills to be successful in life.
