The Early Learning Coalition’s Chief Executive Officer, Dana Hodges, and Education Manager, Tawanda Brown, were excited to attend the Summer Literacy Institute alongside our partners from Okaloosa and Walton County School Districts, learning new ways to support children as they grow into confident readers. 📚🌟

Together, we’re continuing to learn, grow, and bring back valuable strategies to strengthen early literacy and support families and providers from the very start! 🌱
