Each activity is thoughtfully chosen to support everyday language development—with repetition through songs and routines to make learning stick.

“What we wanted more than anything was a place where we could feel supported. We found that at the Irene & Ronald Cohen Center for Parent Engagement + Education. We feel we belong, and that is the best part of the Center – the community.”  Christina S.
