resources to help parents lead conversations with their children, two in-person events at Burr featuring special guest speakers, two virtual parent workshops, and access to Story Starters staff to answer questions and provide support.
Who: The program is designed for children ages 3-8 and their families, but siblings and older students are welcome too!
Cost: The suggested fee is $125, but there is a sliding scale for enrollment and we are committed to removing all barriers to participation for families.
