Early Literacy Station Children’s Computer
The Early Literacy Station™ (ELS) is designed specifically the youngest library patrons ages 2-8 and features over 4,000 localized learning activities. The fun, interactive and engaging content spans all seven curricular areas: math, science & nature, social studies & geography, reading, art & music, writing & computer skills, and reference.
Studies show that the integration of blended learning into early childhood education can increase literacy, improve school readiness, and prepare young learners for curriculum that is based on STREAM and STEM. The Early Literacy Station™ from AWE Learning creates an easy-to-use, single learning solution for young learners of all ages to build their literacy skills.
Children’s iPads
The Library has two iPads set up for children’s use while visiting the Library. These iPads allow children access to educational games and activities while restricting access to the internet.
