This workshop is just over the northern border of CH in Bed Stuy, but don't worry, they will talk about the program as it affects CH as well.

I would love to see programs working with parents to build early literacy in their children, starting from infancy, etc. The knowledge gap sadly starts way before Pre-K. By the time Pre-K starts, there is already a hug vocabulary gap between children of different socio-economic gaps.

I will be there. Probably with baby in tow. Must start early!

@esperanza - 

The federally funded Head Start and Early Head Start programs attempt to meet the needs of younger kids.
