"I did not know the importance of reading to my granddaughter every night until I attended the LiFE workshops. I now teach her mother what I learned and I help other parents." 

Winsome '23


"My daughter could not sit for more than 5 minutes to do school work. Now she can sit with me for 2O minutes. I learned about consistency. We practice letter sounds and putting them together to form words" 

Darlene'23


I am a new mother and did not know that I should Sing Talk And Read to my 2 year old. I started doing what I was taught and I can see improvement with my child talking. I was given books to help with my child's behavior.  I learned a lot."
