AGES 3 ½ - 6 YEARS OLD
Our children’s journeys with and outlooks on books, reading, and writing begin way before they become independent fluent readers and writers. There’s so much we can do before that moment, early on, to nurture their love for literacy. So for the little one who loves books, being read to, talking about stories, and more, as well as for the little one who can benefit from more exposure to these activities, we are pleased to offer this one-on-one interactive time with a Lit. Nanny.
45 MINUTES/ $40.00
AGES 7 - 12 YEARS OLD
From the moment your child reached that wonderful milestone when they could read independently, did it propel them towards more reading, more learning, and more books? Are they excited to talk about the next book in a series or show you their most recent piece of writing? A Lit. Nanny will support their love for literacy through various one-on-one interactive activities.
