Preschool Reading

We are proud to be hosting the fourth session of our Preschool Reading Program, designed to support school readiness for children ages 3–5 and their families. This program provides enriching learning experiences that highlight the humanities and inspire family engagement.



Through beautifully illustrated books featuring culturally diverse stories, the program introduces themes especially suited for preschoolers. These themes spark meaningful conversations among families in welcoming spaces such as schools, libraries, and community centers. With guidance from our dedicated NPAI team, families grow and learn together through the joy of reading.

How It Works

  • FREE for children and their parents or caregivers
  • 60-minute sessions at The Nehemiah Projects of Acadiana, once a week for six weeks
  • Includes complimentary books for families and shared meals at Café on State
  • Facilitators read children’s books with culturally diverse stories, folk tales, and historical accounts from around the world
  • Discussion leaders guide participants to personally connect with literature and explore deeper concepts with open-ended questions inspiring critical thinking 

This season, we’re thrilled to welcome a very special guest reader! For the first time, one of our featured authors will be joining us in person. Author Andrea Wren will read her delightful children’s book, "Maggie and the Bee Charmer", during one of our sessions. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity, register your preschooler for the program today!
