Event Details

Do you have a child between the ages of 0-32 months? Do you wonder how much you talk with your child? LENA Start is a 10-week,  program that will increase your child’s language development. Families will receive a “talk pedometer” that counts the number of words, conversational turns, and electronics your child hears in a day. We will meet weekly to give you tips on how to increase conversational turns. For more information, contact echildress@ppld.org. Pre-registration REQUIRED.

LENA Start is offered on different days. These are separate cohort sessions. 

LENA Start is open to residents of El Paso, and Teller counties only, and pre-registration is required. 

One child per family may participate. If you have previously completed the LENA Start program, you are not eligible to participate again.  

This session is a live in-person session located at Academy Christian West Campus, 2002 W Pikes Peak Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80904. Childcare will be provided.
