Learning Check-ups
Once a year, Building Brickies provides a personalized opportunity to do a "Learning Check-up" for your child. This experience is based on play and conversation about how your child is learning, growing and changing over time. These check-ups allow you to discuss activities that would best fit your child's needs and if your child could benefit from further help as they develop.
Personal Visits
Ever want to have your own personal cheerleader and support as you parent? Building Brickies can provide you your own personal parent coach who will meet with you, provide activities, lead you in learning check-ups for your child and help you find the resources you need to achieve the goals you have for your child and your family. Personal visits can be in your own home, at the Early Learning Center or virtual. Each family receives a free book each time you have a visit!

School City of Hobart Building Brickies partners with local preschools and kindergarten teachers to create a cohort of early learning educators in our community called Ready, Set, Go. Together this cohort focuses on professional development, early learning foundations and helping our youngest citizens transition from their time at home into formal education.
