Partnerships & Integrations

Playing well with others

Early talk leads to all kinds of positive child outcomes. But to make it happen, we need great collaboration.

That’s why we build partnerships and crosswalks with organizations across the early childhood industry: to ensure LENA fits within your uniquely layered system of support to families, children, and educators.
