This free, 10-week community-based program is designed to help families learn how to increase conversations with their children during the first few years of their life.  Each week families will gather to learn together, share ideas, and practice new strategies in a safe environment to build confidence in helping your little ones with early language and literacy skills.

LENA Start uses a “talk pedometer” also known as a small wearable device that is combined with cloud-based software to measure your child’s language environment.
