Little Moments. Lifelong Learning.

Growing Readers. Stronger Futures.

Safe Childcare Partnerships believes that literacy is one of the strongest predictors of future academic success. As part of our mission to support children and families, scholarship recipients are expected to participate in activities that promote early language and literacy development.

Our Family Literacy Commitment

Little Makers Academy isn’t just a business— our Family Literacy Non-Profit is a reflection of what we believe in. We’re here to create work that matters, led by a shared commitment to quality and care.

15 minutes

of reading together each day can help nurture your child’s future.

Families receiving scholarship assistance through Safe Childcare Partnerships agree to these five commitments.

  1. Read Together Every Day

    Read to or with your child for a minimum of 15 minutes each day.

  2. Keep Books Within Reach

    Maintain age-appropriate books or reading materials in the home whenever possible.

  3. Join Literacy Activities

    Participate in literacy-focused activities, challenges, or events sponsored by Safe Childcare Partnerships when available.

  4. Make Room for Conversation

    Encourage conversations, storytelling, singing, and other language-rich interactions that support literacy development.

  5. Ask for Reading Resources

    Notify the organization if you need assistance accessing books or literacy resources.

“Scholarship assistance is more than financial support. It is a partnership between Safe Childcare Partnerships and families to ensure children have the opportunities, experiences, and relationships they need to thrive. Daily reading is one of the simplest and most powerful ways families can support their child’s future success.”
