"Esperanza began studying in our family literacy GED program several years ago. Despite many obstacles along the way, and having to step out of the program several times to take care of her family, she always came back - more determined than ever to succeed. As a non-native English speaker, the GED test series was especially challenging for Esperanza, but she never gave up. Over the course of her journey, her confidence in herself and belief in her abilities continued to grow. Encouragement from her teachers and fellow classmates kept her motivated, and she is now the proud recipient of a GED credential and on her way to opening a world of opportunities for herself and her family. 

 

Congratulations, Esperanza!"

Children First Family Literacy GED Program

The Children First Family Literacy Program is the only comprehensive family literacy program of its kind in the area, and the only one that educates the entire family.  We believe this holistic approach to teaching and learning helps foster an environment where all family members recognize and embrace the importance of enhancing literacy skills.  With ongoing family literacy education comes the realization by our parents that they truly can and do have a profound impact on the achievements and successes of their children.
