Candelen is elated to be partnering with Desert Financial to have a chance to serve Northern Arizona with this essential program. Families are bombarded with messages of what they need to purchase so their children can be ready for school, but children are natural researchers and families already have what it takes to support them. Play & Learns show families how to use what they already have at home to help build important ready for school skills.
