Create the Classroom
Every Child Deserves

One in eight children in early childhood classrooms get almost no interactive talk.

 Even in classrooms full of noise and activity. We call it language isolation. But what if language isolation — like so many of the biggest challenges facing early childhood educators today — can be improved by improving the language environment?

Free Webinar:
What is a language environment?
Making Space for Every Child’s Voice

March 5 at 1:00pm ET

Our upcoming webinar reveals the hidden crisis of language isolation and shows how interaction-focused language environments drive child outcomes. The conversation will feature:

  • How a learning environment full of interactions can impact language isolation and other challenges in early childhood
  • Stories from educators who’ve made LENA-inspired changes to enrich their language environment
  • Key takeaways on how data-driven feedback empowers educators to shift daily practice, strengthen classroom culture, and support consistent, meaningful interactions

Together, we’ll explore practical ideas for increasing teacher-child interactions to improve outcomes for children and educators alike.
