The Parents as Teachers program at the ELCAC seeks to promote literacy within the homes of families that participate in our program. One way that we do this is by bringing free books to the homes of each child that we serve on a monthly basis. The types of books that we use are infant, toddler, and preschool books designed for children ages Birth-5 in new or "like new" condition. Operator of ELCAC Account:
