The Early Literacy Program is our main partnership opportunity for childcare centers and preschools.
Any child care center in Davidson County that enrolls children ages 3 to 5 in a full-time preschool or pre-kindergarten program may participate. Child care providers or teachers at participating centers are eligible to receive up to 6 professional development hours.
During the six-week on-site program, BBTL staff conduct two teacher workshops on the best practices for developing literacy skills. BBTL staff visit the classroom, lead a story time and provide each child with an art activity that reinforces the literature themes and reading skills. The program ends with a visit from the library’s Puppet Truck and a marionette performance. Families are invited to enjoy a “Family Literacy Celebration” at a neighborhood branch library complete with singing, storytelling and refreshments.
Once an initial partnership has been established through the Early Literacy Program, centers are eligible to host any other training opportunities we provide.
