Listos Para Aprender

Listos Para Aprender is funded by the Portland Children’s Levy.
Listos Para Aprender is a home-visitation, school-preparedness program for families who have children younger than three or are pregnant whose primary language is Spanish or an indigenous language from Central or South America.

During a home visit you can ask questions of and share ideas with your parent educator, play learning games with your baby, learn how to make toys for your baby, find out about resources in the community for your family and learn about the development of your baby.
