Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Foundation

Free Tablets for Kids.

That's our vision. We support Clermont County's Agenda For The Future goals for Lifelong Learning: to see that every child enters kindergarten prepared for success in school. Since December, 2016, we have provided free tablets and WOW Pouches to over 850 Clermont County kids. You can help us continue to boost early literacy skills in 2021 and beyond, for around $100 per child.

Every August, another cohort of children will enter kindergarten. The parents and grandparents of these children depend on our education system to prepare them for bright futures, thriving careers, and a shot at the American Dream. We must not fail them.

The lack of progress over the past 30+ years is an indication that it will take more than incremental change to address the crisis before us. We need a new, innovative approach that taps into the latest in technology, and we need to use what we have learned about education. KLiCWOW is a 3-legged project that combines early learning strategies with the use of technology and engagement on the part of parents and the community as a whole.

Although providing a free tablet to each three and four-year old is inherent in this project, KLiCWOW is not really a technology project.

Central to the KLiCWOW approach is the concept that it will take parental engagement and support from the entire community for us to change educational outcomes in Clermont County.
