"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 a comprehensive, one-stop family literacy program that includes preparation for the GED® test series for adults; early childhood education for children; and training for parents in how to be the primary teachers of their children and participate as full partners in their children's education. In addition, teachers supervise and support parents as they work with their children in literacy activities that will continue to foster reading skills and a love of learning at home. With children six years of age or younger, preference is given to parents with the most educationally and economically disadvantaged families.
