BY5's first year of LENA Grow shows that when educators receive coaching and support, children thrive through the power of everyday conversations.

When we lower expectations for early childhood education, we risk lowering opportunities for children, families, and the workforce that depends on quality childcare.

From asking better questions to embracing every season, BY5's Nature & Outdoor Learning Workshop inspired educators to see the outdoors as one of the most powerful classrooms children can experience.

“Play Builds Brains, Advocacy Builds Futures” came to life at BY5’s Second Annual ECP Summit as educators and advocates gathered to strengthen the future of early childhood education in East Central Indiana.
