The Early Literacy Station offers children a safe, standalone computer that is age-appropriate, engaging, and academically relevant for children. It is designed to support school readiness and early education while making learning exciting and engaging.
The early learning applications on the Early Literacy Station span every curriculum area: reading, language arts, math, science, STEM, social studies, writing, graphic arts, typing, music, and more.

~La Casa de Dora

The Early Literacy Station has an imaginative interface that encourages exploration by readers and pre-readers alike. Since it is a self-contained computer, the need for adult intervention and technical support is greatly minimized.
“The Early Literacy Station is an invaluable resource for our toddlers to 5th grade students,” says Matt Church, Library Director. “We’re grateful to the Friends for donating such a dynamic tool to the library for kids to enjoy.”
