    Our ParentChild+ program recently held a graduation ceremony with 70 staff, supporters, and parents from the Bronx and Brooklyn celebrating what is for many families their children's first educational accomplishment. Through our intensive home visiting over two years with a focus on helping parents to read and play with their children, youngsters ages 3-5 years are now academically prepared for the next step in their education. Participating parents gained knowledge, tools, and resources to help them as parents and community members. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/exR276NM
