Operation Little Learners Spring Session 2023:
Start: March 14, 2023

Operation Little Learners is designed to support and build confidence in parents in their roles as their child's first teacher. The program guides and gives tools to parents on how to enhance the developmental areas of the child and offers an opportunity for early learning and bonding. The classes provide a variety of activities which enhance cognitive, emotional, social, motor and other skills of children ages 18 months - 5 years old, which in turn develop pre-k and kindergarten readiness.
Operation Little Learners operates at our office on Fort Bragg (Building 2-2411 Rodney Trail, behind the Bragg 'n Barn Thrift Store and the Bragg Unique Boutique). This program is offered to families at no cost due to the generous support of donors such as the PNC Foundation and United Way Cumberland County - Youth Growth Stock Trust .

Military life provides so many opportunities and unique challenges for our children. Operation Hero was created specifically to support military kids. Curriculum-based lessons and team-building activities with peers who share similar life experiences help to strengthen students’ character development, leadership skills and increase their resilience enabling them to reach their full potential. The program helps students to manage their feelings and conflicts and develop friendships while emphasizing respect, responsibilities, integrity, and problem-solving. Enhancing students’ academic performance, as well as encouraging greater self-esteem and positive interactions with peers and family are core objectives for Operation Hero.

United Through Reading brings families together through a video-recorded storytime for over 30 years. Service members preparing for a deployment or extended training exercises can record themselves reading a children’s book at the UTR-ASYMCA Fort Bragg Story Station and receive a free copy of the book to share with their families to read along while the service member is away from home. With a UTR recording and a new, free book in their lap, children are able to share storytime with their loved one whether their service member is serving at home, away at training or deployed around the world.
UTR-ASYMCA Fort Bragg Story Station is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm; no rank restrictions or fee for this program. Download the UTR recording app at UTR.org/app prior to visit.
