Prime Time Preschool Reading
This spring we had the honor to host the PRIME TIME Preschool Reading Program in the classroom at our headquarters. We were able to create long-lasting relationships with the families that attended and model great reading habits from parent to child.
Prime Time Preschool fosters school readiness by creating learning environments for 3 to 5 year-old children and their families. Our programs focus on the humanities, family engagement and participation, and include beautifully illustrated, award-winning books with culturally diverse stories around themes such as caring, inquiring, and sustainability to spark meaningful conversation among family members in settings such as schools, libraries, and community centers. Families learn together, with trusted site-based teams trained to deliver all aspects of the program and are supported by Prime Time staff.
How It Works
- FREE for children and their parents or caregivers
- 90-minute sessions at The Nehemiah Projects of Acadiana, once a week for six weeks
- Includes complimentary books for families and shared meals at Café on State
- Facilitators read award-winning children’s books with culturally diverse stories, folk tales, and historical accounts from around the world
- Discussion leaders guide participants to personally connect with literature and explore deeper concepts with open-ended questions inspiring critical thinking
- In Prime Time Preschool, a facilitator also leads children and families through center based activities to increase comprehension and school readiness
