MAKE LIFE-CHANGING LEARNING
A REALITY FOR ALL
Give to the Max for Family Literacy by supporting Open Door Preschool!
At Literacy Minnesota, we promote the power of entire families learning together. Our Open Door Preschool allows young children to participate in enriching activities that promote kindergarten-readiness while their parents attend classes just down the hall. It cultivates a positive learning environment both in and out of the classroom.
Our Open Door Preschool is a vital resource for families attending adult education classes at Open Door Arlington Hills. We plan to open a preschool at our Minneapolis campus in 2024.
