Family Literacy - In collaboration with the Literacy Council, MAEC offer
family classes one night a week. During these classes, parents do learning
activities with their children then discuss parenting topics while their
children attend age- appropriate classes taught by certified teachers. Parents,
teachers of the children, and parent group facilitators seek resources and ideas
that enable parents to help their children succeed in school. During the summer,
a week of fun-filled workshops are held for families.
