Our Path
Our Early Learning vision started with our local school district back in 1999 and although the first focus of Building Learning Together (BLT) was birth to kindergarten age, and their families, we soon widened our offerings to appeal to all ages and to help with the ever-changing digital world.
The vision started with SD69 and community determination creating “Building Learning Together” (BLT) engagement and collaboration. Early literacy programs started with Mother Goose & Friends in late 1999-2000.
