SPICE Family Literacy
SPICE meets the needs of families who live in one of the eleven towns of MSAD 3, have an educational, parenting & child development goal, and have a child eight years old or younger. SPICE is FREE to eligible families.
Students and Parents in Cooperative Education (SPICE) is dedicated to increasing literacy skills in our clients by improving an individual's ability to read, write, and speak in English, compute, and solve problems, at levels of proficiency necessary to function on the job, in the family, and in society.
SPICE provides families with:
- the opportunity to earn a high school diploma or GED at home;
- one on one tutoring at home;
- opportunities to increase job skills and career potential;
- support for parents and children in both home and school settings;
- parent training to help children succeed in school;
- parent support and resources to address children’s behavioral issues;
- age-appropriate books during home visits; and
- assistance in developing good schoolwork and homework skills.
SPICE is a collaborative project of Maine School Administrative District 3 and Broadreach Family & Community Services. The SPICE Program receives funding support from Evenstart and the Maine Department of Education.
