Mission
Learning Home Volunteers transforms young children into life-time learners by introducing them to the joy of learning and exploration in their home. Play-based learning kits delivered to the home every three weeks, plus a network of support, provide families all the resources they need to promote the academic and social-emotional learning to be kindergarten ready. Kindergarten readiness is the #1 indicator of future academic success.What We Do
Our program works with the child's first and longest teachers, their parents. We invest in parents and empower them to realize their gifts as educators. We start by sharing the true work of play for children - learning. Through hands-on training and ongoing videos, we share how parents can enhance that learning with their involvement, by adding language, support, and sprinkling in preschool academic learning.We then equip the families with basic teaching resources (teacher's kit), books, and learning session materials delivered to their home by a trusted program coordinator every three weeks. Each learning kit contains theme-based, open-ended materials, books, and custom learning materials specifically chosen for the child based on their interests.
The families and children are connected via our app, where all can share ideas about each learning session in their native tongue and watch videos of books read out loud in English, and through virtual circle times for playing together in community. Families post what is happening in their homes, share successes and challenges, and connect with others on the same journey
