WHY PARENTS CHOOSE US FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS: WE DELIVER RESULTS THAT MATTER
Over 90% of our grads feel more: proud of themselves, self-confident, independent, comfortable in social settings, willing to try new things, and fond of books & reading!
WE START WITH A STORY TIME
How many youth sports programs start with a story time…AND send every kid home with four books to read?! We build self-esteem, athletic skills, parental bonding, AND a love of reading. Our big-format story time books are a big hit, and include the kids’ favorites (Five Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed, The Napping House, The Little Blue Truck). And every week, we send every child home with a bag full of five books to read. Learn more here.
