Providing organization

East Side Learning Center

Partnering with parents and teachers, ESLC trained volunteers provide one-on-one reading tutoring for children in grades pre-kindergarten - 3rd. The goals of the program are to ensure that each child reads with pride and joy at grade level by 3rd grade; each child has the opportunity to develop a caring relationship with an adult who cares about their success in school; and to include parent participation in the reading progress of their child.
