Learning Check-ups
Once a year, Brickies from the Start provides a personalized opportunity to do a "Learning Check-up" for your child. This experience is based on play and conversation about how your child is learning, growing and changing over time. These check-ups allow you to discuss activities that would best fit your child's needs and if your child could benefit from further help as they develop.
Ready, Set, Go
Brickies from the Start partners with local preschools and kindergarten teachers to create a cohort of early learning educators in our community called Ready, Set, Go. Together this cohort focuses on professional development, early learning foundations and helping our youngest citizens transition from their time at home into formal education.
