We are leading a paradigm shift in reading.

We envision a world where literacy opens not just books but entire worlds of opportunity and community—where every child and family can freely access both the joy and the potential that learning and literacy can offer.

Our work spans both home and school environments, leveraging each child’s unique experiences to create meaningful and relevant learning plans. We build strong partnerships with parents, equipping them with the skills and flexibility to reinforce literacy at home while aligning with the child’s school progression. Deep collaboration with educators, youth development professionals, and childcare providers—from infant and maternal care providers to schools and libraries—ensures a unified approach to early literacy that brings the curricula to the community for healthy learning and development.

Values

Culture is capital 

Our programs are rooted in the cultural and lived experiences of the communities we serve, ensuring that literacy development is not only relevant but also a powerful tool for change.

Early literacy is an intergenerational effort

We are committed to fostering a love of literacy that spans generations, creating lasting change in families and communities through a shared dedication to learning.

Youth outcomes are driven by what we pour in

We believe that the quality of and access to care and learning that communities provide directly impacts life outcomes for our children.

Parents are partners

We see parents and caregivers as essential collaborators in our efforts to build strong literacy foundations for their children.
