Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors​

the first evidence-based program developed by and for Latinx parents with children ages 0-5 – and adopted by diverse communities across the country. The mission of Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors is to honor and support parents as leaders of their families and their child’s first and most influential teacher. AP/OD’s ten interactive sessions assist parents in building strong foundations for their children in reading, math, technology, health and more. Parents support each other in making what they learn a part of daily life, understanding they are in powerful positions as leaders and advocates for their families.
