Subject line: Next steps to begin LENA Grow!


Dear [center director name],

Thanks for meeting with me to review the LENA Grow Site Guide. Now that you know how the program works, we’re almost ready to get started!

If you’d like to begin getting your teachers excited about the program, please share the LENA Grow for Teachers webpage. Reassure them they’ll learn more at the upcoming Teacher Orientation your coach will schedule.

If you’re thinking ahead about questions families may ask about the program, visit LENA Grow for Families to find more information. (Please note: This link will be shared with families after Teacher Orientation.)

Please send me any questions that come up. I will be in touch with you shortly to introduce your LENA Grow coach. 

Thank you!
[Your name]
