"As a long-time educator, I know how to talk to kids. But LENA Grow really helped me focus on how to listen to them. And when you start listening, then you are able to really start building a relationship with each kiddo."
Whether you're with a school district, CCR&R, state agency, library, university-community partnership, public health initiative, or any other organization dedicated to improving early childhood outcomes, we want to help you put your organization on the LENA map.
