Growing healthy minds and bodies

At Airline Children & Women’s Health Center, we know that a child’s health includes more than physical wellness—it’s about helping their minds grow, too. Reading with your young child is one of the best ways to prepare them for success in school and in life.

Learning to read starts early

While children usually start to read in kindergarten, learning to read begins much earlier. Giving your child plenty of chances to hear books and stories, sing songs, and play with letters helps build strong language and social skills that support healthy brain development.

Hop aboard the Reading Express Bus!

That’s why we’re proud to partner with Literacy Now’s Reading Express Bus, where families can enjoy fun, interactive literacy activities that spark curiosity, strengthen early learning, and get children ready for kindergarten.

To learn more about what to expect as your  child grows, visit our Developmental Milestones: 2 months to 2 years and Developmental Milestones: 3 to 5 years for helpful information.
