READ (Reading Enrichiment and Development) Nola is an early literacy program for children ages 4 months to 5 years old. This program offers little ones a chance to develop their skills through movement, music, acting, art and themed activities. Most importantly it enourages them to bring books and language into their daily lives!
Children attend classes with a parent or caregiver, and each weeks class focuses on a different theme such as Transportation, Dinosaurs or Going to the Zoo. They also offer playtime with their mascot, Willoughby, at various times each week (registration is required prior to attendance as space is limited) with different areas for your child to explore, experiment and learn- build and explore in the Tinkerzone, pretend play in Dreamland, perfect fine motor skills in the Finger Gym, and arts play in the Creative Station.
Classes are offered as sessions, with registration at the beginning of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. A discount is offered if you would like to attend more than once per week, have multiple children or register early.
READ Nola has won many awards such as "Best Educational Experience" and "Best Birthday Party Venue", among others, from several well known organizations including New Orleans Moms Blog, Macaroni Kid, The Times-Picayune and The New Orleans Advocate.
