FREE Books. Racine Littles.

It's the gift that speaks volumes for our community's future! Just Add Kids'campaign to help build young readers via the United Way of Racine County's Imagination Librar y initiative.

Imagination Library was created in 1996 by famed country-singer Dolly Parton to foster a love of reading. All participating children receive free, age-appropriate books though the mail each month, from birth to age five.

In 2009, United Way launched the Imagination Library initiative in western Racine County. It was a perfect fit for United Way's early childhood priority focused on the healthy development of children and school readiness.

Your support of Just Add Kids' crowdfunding campaign will help Dolly Parton's Imagination Library expand to serve young children throughout ALL of Racine County. More than 36,000 FREE books have been distributed since the program began in 2009 and we want to distribute even more!

I am so passionate about being able to help facilitate providing books for kids right here in our city. Your financial support is being requested to join me and the United Way of Racine County in making a difference in the lives of children in the birth to age 5 bracket.

What a GREAT opportunity to give. Click here to donate!
$5, $25...whatever your heart feels is good. Thank you!

Join in on the celebration with the Imagination Library's Expansion Event! Come to Regency Mall's East Court on Saturday from 10am - 2pm. First 500 children enrolled will receive a literacy kit and a FREE book in the mail each month until they turn five!

AWESOME Dad

I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th). Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift! Here's how... Read More...

Why is my Child Spooning Beans? The Importance of a Montessori Education Sponsored by Small World Montessori At first glance, a Montessori classroom is not like that of any other. Upon entering you may find a child spooning beans between 2 dishes, another working with a map of South America, or playing the bells by scale. These are just a few of the unique activities in a Montessori classroom. We offer a homelike environment in which we approach education of the "whole child" through hands on, self-directed activities. How is it possible that children are working independently at their own activities? Read More... The environment is carefully staged with progressively difficult, self-correcting materials, and most instruction is delivered one on one. Our extensive curriculum spans from 2 1/2 through 6 years old. The mixed age classroom allows the child to work at her own pace and since instruction is individual, no child is left behind or forced...
