Wiggles and Giggles: an early literacy program for children 0 to 36 months old. 

This program provides caregivers with a bonding experience with their child in which they can both explore the basics of literacy in a fun and supportive environment. Staff leading Wiggles and Giggles will implement “Every Child Ready to Read” ideas and practices, and parents will learn rhymes, stories, and activities that will encourage their little ones to master print recognition, letter knowledge, narrative skills, vocabulary skills, and phonological awareness.
