Connecting families, schools, and communities to support children’s early development through play-based learning.
Our program is built on the Talk, Read, Create, and Play Every Day model—an experiential learning approach that fosters children’s literacy, math, creativity, physical development, and social-emotional skills.
Play-based learning is one of the most effective approaches to develop the foundational skills for success in school and in life.
Offers families resources and teaches them how to engage in play-based learning with their child
Involves families, children, educators and community representatives in a ‘circle of support’ to give children a warm welcome to school
Content is developed by ECE subject matter experts who are available to schools for support in implementing WTK.
Has a special focus on diversity, representation and inclusion
Takes advantage of economies of scale and expert resources to provide a turn-key approach that easily integrates with or supplements existing welcome programs at low cost to schools, boards and districts (and no cost to teachers)
The hands-on program brings families, schools and communities together to reinforce the importance of play-based learning and help families prioritize it at home for a positive start to school.
Includes an activity guide and specially selected early learning resources to Talk, Read, Create and Play Every Day with children.
Families engage in fun, play-based activities with their child at a session led by their child’s new educator and meet other school and community members.
A series of activities themed to talk, read, create and play every day helps families engage in play-based learning with their children throughout the year of transition to kindergarten.
