Early Steps to School Success (ESSS): Why we serve families Pre-birth to 5years

Families are a child’s first and most important teachers. Relationships are central to learning. Language and literacy unfold within a cultural context. Literacy learning emerges from loving interactions and daily

routines. Sharing, hearing and reflecting on stories are important to

nurturing language and literacy.
