PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Big skills for little learners.
Give your preschooler a head start with Little Bookworms, our fun, science-backed literacy readiness program for ages 3–7.
We build early reading, writing, and language skills through playful, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and confidence. Kids learn the building blocks of literacy, like sounds, letters, and vocabulary, while also strengthening fine motor and social skills.
With interactive lessons, stories, and games, we make learning fun and school prep stress free.
