Learning Spaces
Learning Spaces is an early learning initiative designed for caregivers, childcare providers and children birth to five years old.
Through collaboration with local libraries and early childhood professionals, it has been developed to be a preschool program in non-traditional spaces. The program raises awareness about the role of child’s first teacher and provides meaningful engagement with caregivers.
“The program has made a huge impact on my child and myself. We look forward to attending the program each week.”
