ABOUT LAMPLIGHTERS:
You may be asking yourself who we are. We are a group of dedicated, informed, concerned volunteers who feel that learning starts at home and is the business of the whole village. That groups composed of families, children, workers, citizens, stores and businesses, schools and everything else are what make a community what it is. We intend to 'light-up' learning within the community.

Our mission is to help the community and its families keep their kids motivated to learn, and to help keep kids, from birth through graduation, connected to the education process. Our Cradle to Kindergarten program is intended to be the starting point for the life-long adventure into the love of learning. This program helps parents prepare their child for the new things that will be happen when they start school, and even though it is primarily for ages birth to five years it is also useful up to grade 4. The Cradle to Kindergarten program is just one resource that we offer. We also provide support to children and their parents at all grade levels.

We believe that a community, composed of families, children, workers and its citizens must find out what its needs and wants are, and tailor the community education effort to fit those needs and wants. We help you discover what you want and help you shape what it is you get. We also guide you along the path of change as community and cultural needs evolve. Education is a two way street that requires learning by those being taught. If one is not susceptible to learning, they can never be taught anything by anyone.

There are many academic achievement problems a family can be facing. For example: the problem of children unready for the school experience or the problem of caring parents who don't know how to cope with academic achievement problems. Sometimes a child can be turned off by the whole idea of school. There's help for that kind of disconnect too. Check out our archives for information on some of the types of problems we can help with.
