Strong Foundations, Bright Futures

Read, Talk, Play Every Day is a Rock County initiative powered by a collaborative partnership between the Stateline Community Foundation’s Literacy for Life and Janesville Early Literacy, focused on empowering Rock County families and caregivers to Read, Talk, Play Every Day!

We aim to provide parents with the resources and insights they need to build a strong foundation, so that every child has the opportunity to succeed in school and life. We focus on involving the community, raising awareness about the importance of early childhood development to create a network of support. By working together, we can make these critical early years rich with growth and possibility.
