Our mission is to create trusting relationships among families, community members, and educators to ensure that children flourish in school and as life-long learners. Toward that end, we provide interactive workshops that focus on home literacy and learning to help families become informed agents in their children's education. Our vision is to build a stable, educated, prosperous and healthy community. The principles that undergird NPLB: 1) Parents are the first and most important instructors of children. 2) Learning is meant to be enjoyable. 3) Any parent can facilitate academic learning at home through natural and authentic experiences. 4) Parents and teachers can form mutually beneficial and effective school partnerships that can positively impact student learning.
