  • My children are now 8 and 10 years old, and over the past three years I've returned to the strategies I learned at Story Starters as we encounter new experiences with race as a family. I am grateful for the tools and resources we learned in Story Starters!"

    —Molly P, Parent

  • "Story Starters has been so foundational for us and our kids, now 8 and 4 are already so observant, compassionate and brave in how they engage with the world."

    —Katie M, Parent

  • “As a White educator I found Story Starters programming helped me respond to questions and comments that my students made about race, skin color, and racism.

    —Michelle S, NECP preschool teacher
