Vocabulary is central to a child’s early development

 

PNC’s 10-city pre-k initiative brings together community organizations to engage parents and caregivers in building their child’s vocabulary. 

Collaboration between the organizations is essential to the multi-disciplinary approach that teaches children new words through a variety of contexts. The program’s goal is to encourage everyday conversations and interactions like talking, reading and singing. Together, they help develop positive routines and habits that will support children’s development of vocabulary and forge an understanding of related words for the long-term. The series of videos below highlight a project in one of the 10 participating cities.
