Wee Readers Family Literacy Program at Betty Chinn Day Center

Did you know that reading to young children increases brain development at an early age and better prepares them for future learning?

Children who are read to at an early age are also more likely to be able to begin to read on time.  Reading to infants allows for a social and emotional development that is vital for a happy and healthy family to flourish.

Parks & Recreation has partnered with the Betty Kwan Chinn Day Center to offer a Family Literacy Program for 0-5 year olds & their families.  This program is free and will includes a featured book of the week read out loud to the group, along with accompanying songs & activities.
