Way to Grow helps parents prepare
their young children for success in school by supporting and
educating parents in their role as their child’s first - and most
important – teacher. Way to Grow is a school readiness program that
uses home visitors to promote learning of both parents and children.
As one parent put it,
“I learned
ways to teach my child while we played. I wish more parents could
have this kind of help!”
For children to thrive in
the classroom, they need to be healthy and well-nourished in order
to have energy for learning. They must be able to concentrate
and follow directions. Children should have a large vocabulary
with a beginning knowledge of letters and numbers. Finally,
they need their parents’ support, guidance and commitment to
education.
