It’s our 45th anniversary! 45 years of community service and support: 1981-2026

VOL. 18 | Home & Classroom Magazine | Read. Grow. Thrive.

This issue of Home and Classroom discusses how literacy is more than just the ability to read and write—it’s the foundation for a child’s lifelong learning, emotional development, and ability to navigate the world. In our upcoming magazine issue, we’ll explore the critical role literacy plays in early childhood development, examine the challenges many families face in accessing literacy resources, and share practical, research-backed strategies to support young readers. This article aims to inspire educators, caregivers, and community leaders to prioritize and promote literacy from the very start.

We will also be sharing ideas, inspiration, and resources throughout the remainder of the year on our Facebook page (@wearebrightsideup) and our Instagram page (@BrightsideupNY). Please join us and become an advocate for families, providers, and children.
