Family Literacy

Partnering with the Collier County Schools and Head Start, the LVCC Family Literacy Program promotes learning as a family activity. LVCC trained tutors conduct classes in Collier County Public Schools during school hours. Families receive books to take home to read with their children to further enrich the experience of learning English. LVCC bridges the gap between school and home through two enrichment programs that are free to families.
