Littles Count: Big Change!
Learning starts early. This is an early childhood education financial literacy program introducing “building block” concepts that align with widely supported developmental milestones, primarily Number Sense.
Empowering “Littles” and their Parents:
Volunteers deliver a series of five story time lessons based on children’s books with specific number sense and decision-making themes at early childhood education and community centers. They also provide parenting tips and resources to help reinforce these concepts at home.
Who & Where:
- Program Participants, “Littles”: Preschool-aged children (ages 3 to 7)
- Locations: Early Childhood Development and Community Centers (pre-schools, libraries, centers)
- Administered By: Volunteers and Center Staff
We work with the centers on their specific needs!
