WCTE partners with numerous community organizations that work in alliance with WCTE's education and community engagement mission. These organizations serve at-risk and economically disadvantaged families and children who have limited resources to help them with school readiness. That's why WCTE's work and collaboration with the community partners is so important. WCTE uses PBS KIDS learning tools to help these community partners educate families through hands-on learning activities, creative learning workshops, access to electronic learning devices, summer enrichment programs and parental chat sessions.

“The Ready To Learn Lab of iPads has been a valuable resource to have in the children’s library. Patrons who have never used an iPad before are able to have that experience while taking advantage of great educational apps for free!” — Chelsea Gifford, Putnam County Children's Services Librarian/Assistant Director
