Little Scholars
At Little Scholars, parents and caregivers are supported with tools, guidance, and resources designed to strengthen early childhood development and family well-being. Little Scholars creates opportunities for families to build confidence, develop positive routines, and support children’s learning through meaningful everyday interactions.
Led by Vibrant Futures, Little Scholars provides a supportive, relationship-focused environment where families can learn and grow together. Through educational support, caregiver engagement, and child-centered learning experiences, the program helps foster school readiness, strengthen family connections, and encourage healthy development during the earliest years of a child’s life.
Program Overview
If you are a parent or caregiver of a young child ages 0–5 living in Kent County, Little Scholars is designed to support you during some of the most important years of your child’s development.
This program helps families build confidence and strengthen everyday interactions that support early learning, healthy development, and school readiness. Through personalized parent coaching, participants learn practical, research-based techniques that encourage communication, language development, emotional connection, and positive engagement with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children.
Coaching is delivered weekly over an 11-week period and is designed to fit the needs of each family. Sessions may take place by phone, through Zoom, in your home, or at another convenient community location. Families are introduced to strategies such as labeling, maintaining conversations, shared-book reading, and other activities that help support children’s cognitive, social, and emotional growth.
Throughout the program, participating families also receive children’s books, developmental toys, learning materials, and additional incentives to help continue learning and connection at home.
