Women United's signature program, Preschool Pages, is a partnership with local elementary schools to support the development of early literacy skills in preschoolers in the community. Young children and their caregivers participate in story time and related crafts and activities which helps these young learners develop important early literacy skills while learning that school is a safe and nurturing place. You can support children by donating books or funds for books, ensuring that each child can take a book home from the program to build their home library.

EARLY LITERACY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

• The most recent Kindergarten Readiness data shows that approximately 61.5% of Pickens County kindergartners tested "Not Ready" for kindergarten.
• 80% of brain development happens in the first three years of life.
• Early experiences with books, stories, and words make a difference in student success.
