StoryMakers
A growing body of research confirms that a strong early-learning home environment predicts children’s success in school. Success in school strongly predicts health and economic self-sufficiency in adulthood. Fundamental principles of human learning underlie the links between very early home environments and later success in school and in life. For example, we know that children’s early experiences in their homes significantly influence their developing brain structures and functions, and thus, their ability to learn.
Through community teams of citizen leaders, the StoryMakers program offers:
* In all StoryMakers materials, “parent” means a child’s primary caregiver. This program is made possible through generous support from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, Women’s Opportunity and Resource Development (WORD) through the Montana Parent Information and Resource Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the Steele-Reese Foundation, the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation, the O.P. and W.E. Edwards Foundation, the Montana Office of Public Instruction, the Walter L. and Lucille Braun Family Charitable Gift Fund, and Hopa Mountain members. |
