Project Title: Operation Little Learners
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Operation Little Learners (OLL) is a free 13-week interactive school readiness program for military parents and children aged 18 months to 5 years designed to enhance child development. Classes meet twice weekly for two hours. OLL supports and builds parents’ confidence in their role as their child\u2019s first teacher and provides tools to enhance early childhood development while creating opportunities for parent-child bonding which is essential for predicting a child\u2019s ability to develop healthy relationships, handle conflicts, and have a higher quality of life into adulthood. Parents guide their children through learning stations, join in singing songs, crafts, circle time, and recess. The classes offer activities to enhance cognitive, emotional, social, and motor skills. Each month, OLL organizes a Family Fun Outing and a Craft & Conversation meetup. <\/p>\n
Military families face unique stressors, such as frequent moves without warning, economic hardships, and feelings of isolation. Short-term deployments can further contribute to a sense of being untethered without family support or an established local network. Junior-enlisted active-duty spouses, often young and new parents, are away from their familiar home community. OLL provides a setting for both parents and children to make new friendships and feel part of a community, crucial for military families. <\/p>\n
Operation Little Learners helps these families connect and thrive. <\/p>\n
