Partner success stories and research findings in Rhode Island and beyond.
Recruiting and retaining families can be a significant challenge for many early childhood and parent programs, particularly when they are first launching.
Five cities have been selected to replicate Providence Talks, one of the first early language initiatives implemented at the municipal level, with support from Bloomberg Philanthropies.
Highlights from a webinar where we hear directly from a teacher, coach, and administrator using LENA Grow.
In 2019, five U.S. cities were selected to receive a three-year grant to replicate the widely celebrated Providence Talks early literacy program. As the grant period draws to a close, we’re sharing their stories of what worked.
While we’ve long known about the importance of early adult-child interactions, a research focus on children’s language experiences in child care classrooms has been long overdue.
This webinar takes a deep dive into how Bloomberg Philanthropies has thought about the replication work and the unique role of city leadership in spearheading change.
