📚✨ Kindergarten Literacy Night is Back! ✨📚
The Villa Rica Public Library is hosting their second Kindergarten Literacy Night! 🎉
The goal? Helping parents and caregivers understand common early literacy challenges and giving you practical, easy-to-use strategies to tackle them right at home.
Caregivers are a child's first and most important literacy champions. That's why this event is led by true experts in literacy and child development: local teachers! 👩🏫👨🏫
Go and get equipped, empowered, and excited to support your kindergartener's reading journey from day one. 💛
