VIP is excited to announce that we are one of 8 partner programs in a new city-wide early literacy initiative: City's First Readers.
City's First Readers brings together early literacy programs from different settings across the city: heathcare (VIP and Reach Out and Read), the community (Literacy Inc., New York Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library, and Queens Public Library), home visitation (Parent Child Home Program), and early child education (JumpStart).
This $1.5 million New York City Council initiative began in July 2014 and was spearheaded by Council Members Stephen Levin and Antonio Reynoso.
