Vibrant Futures wants Kent County parents and caregivers to know about their Little Scholars program.

The Little Scholars program is designed to teach parents how to learn and reinforce important techniques for strengthening growth, child development, and learning for their infant, toddler or preschool child.  

Parent coaching can be done at home, by phone, Zoom, or in a convenient location of your choice.  

Cost for this program is covered by the generosity of Kent County taxpayers and is offered to parents of children between 0 to 5 years old in Kent County.
