Early Years

TNRL shares tools, expertise and learning opportunities that support children from birth through their transition to school age. 

Upcoming Programs

Early Literacy

Early literacy skills are the language skills a child needs before they learn to read and write. Reading books, singing and speaking to your child will all help improve these language skills. Support your child’s early literacy at home with these resources.

Early Literacy Kits

Our themed kits are designed to support children's early literacy.

Anytime is Storytime

Thanks to sponsorship provided by the Interior Savings Community Investment Fund, our children’s areas are enhanced with high-quality toys that foster motor, sensory and pre-literacy skills. Plus, they’re seriously fun!
