Family English Literacy Program classes take place Monday–Thursday with students choosing between morning (9-11 am) or afternoon (12:30 – 2:30 pm) sessions. This flexible schedule suits the family demands upon the lives of our students. Students attending the Family English Literacy classes may enroll their young children in VMLC's Children's Program, allowing the parents and children to attend school together and creating a powerful synergy which benefits the entire family. This concurrent programming removes a significant barrier to learning English (childcare) while also providing an opportunity for the parent to model the importance of education.
