LENA Grow is a professional development program that helps teachers support your child’s learning.

LENA Grow helps teachers increase early talk and interactions — two of the most important things for a child’s brain development. This helps your child:

  • Learn more words
  • Understand and manage feelings
  • Improve behavior
  • Get ready for kindergarten
My children went from speaking one-word sentences to carrying full conversations with their parents, teachers, and friends.
Angela M.
PreK Teacher, Texas

How does LENA Grow work?

With LENA Grow, your child’s teachers get the tools, strategies, and support they need to create an even more engaging language environment for your child.

Teachers use this information to help improve learning for your child.

It gave me tools that helped me grow as an educator. I became more cognizant of what I was saying and the impact that my interactions had on my children's vocabulary.
