These directories are designed to assist those interested in developing, creating, supporting or learning more about out of school environments to support children and families in their learning journeys. As such we see these directories as an avenue to connect individuals and organizations in the establishment of an on-line community – particularly for those engaged in grade level reading support – for developing and maintaining grade level reading programs or quality management services in establishing informal learning-rich environments.
Directory of Bright Spots highlights an array of civic, academic and entrepreneurial organizations working to establish, grow or enhance equitable access to learning-rich playful environments for families.
Directory of Thought Leaders is a compendium of individuals who lead, practice, contribute to or conduct research in the arena of early childhood development, education and out-of-school programming.
