Early Childhood Learning
Join Shannon Nickinson from the Studer Community Institute and a group of dedicated Escambia County educators to see how parents can make learning fun and productive for their children.
“In our community, only 47 percent of our kindergartners are ready for school. We can do better than that. We can give all of our children a good chance for a great start in school — and life. We hope these lessons are just one more way to build a brain, build a life and build a community.” – Shannon Nickinson
