Guilford County Schools issued the following announcement on Aug. 27.
Everyday interactions with a young child are opportunities to make a positive impact on his or her life. In fact, 80 percent of brain development happens before the age of three.
To help families prepare their preschoolers for school and for life, Guilford Parent Academy (GPA) is partnering with Ready for School, Ready for Life (Ready Ready) for virtual literacy workshops. In this three-part series, Ready Ready’s Family Literacy Coordinator Megan LeFaivre will guide attendees through the Basics Guilford -- five science-based, easy and powerful strategies to help ensure every child has a great start to life.
