Parent ResourcesThe ultimate teacher is the parent. No matter how you want to cut it, a child only spends 30% of their day in a classroom. The other 70% is spent exploring, discovering, and investigating the world around them. Parents are the ultimate guide to these authentic curiosities. This responsibility can often be a challenge, but we're here to help. Our comprehensive approach to literacy education puts parents at the heart and center of this academic journey.
