“As an educator myself, I know my child’s education is one of the most important things I can give to her. Participating in the Learning Program gave me access to resources to help Scarlett learn to read. The books Scarlett received from the program are some of her favorites. Scarlett is only 4 years old. One of the books from the program she reads on her own. Having the Learning Program resources are more crucial than ever before. Scarlett has not stepped foot in a preschool classroom since March of 2020. I am so thankful I have resources from the Learning Program to help me fill in the learning gaps caused by her not being in in-person school.”
