Literacy Labs

Literacy Labs are all about connection—building relationships while fostering a love for reading and writing in young children. These hands-on, exploratory programs feature interactive centers where kids can engage with the alphabet in a playful, open-ended setting.

 

But the magic doesn’t stop with the kids! The adults who love them are invited to join in, offering support and sharing in the joy of learning together.

What is a Literacy Lab?

A Literacy Lab is a fun, hands-on program where kids can explore the alphabet in a playful way. Through games, activities, and stories, children get to practice important skills like recognizing letters and their sounds.

Family Involvement

We believe a child’s adults play a vital role in their learning. In our Literacy Labs, each activity center includes simple prompts to help family members support their child’s skill development. Asking open-ended questions like, “What do you think will happen next?” or “How does this make you feel?” helps children express their thoughts and follow their curiosity.

 

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, we believe parents are their child’s first and most important teachers. We’re here to support you with tools and ideas, but it’s your love and connection that will inspire their growth and confidence.
