LENA Start

Mom and daughter after graduating from a parent education program

What is LENA Start?
LENA Start is a parent education program for families with children under the age of three. Throughout this 8-week program, families will learn how simply talking more with their baby will help to develop their baby's brain and set them up for success in school and beyond. 

Research has shown that back and forth conversation is a key factor in healthy early brain development. Yet, most families don't know how much they're talking to or with their children. Families who participate in this program will use LENA's patented "talk pedometer" technology to measure their child's language environment. Families will explore the data from the device in personalized, actionable feedback reports as well as discuss research-based strategies with their peers to increase the quality and quantity of talk at home.

LENA Start is offered on several Mesquite ISD elementary campuses and is available for all families. 

For more information on LENA Start, please call 972-882-5463 or email TFuentes2@mesquiteisd.org

Este programa se ofrece en Inglés y Español.
