We recently learned that the Ohio Children’s Foundation was providing a grant to KLICWOW. Earlier in the year, we were honored to receive supporting funds from the East Side Rotary and from Park National Bank as well as benefitting from fundraisers at Rhinegeist Brewery and Little Miami Brewing Company.

We offer our very sincere gratitude for all of this support and to our many private donors to our mission to help Clermont preschool kids.

KLICWOW, RHB Partner for House of Peace

Child safety and success is a mission RiverHills Bank holds very near and dear to our hearts. This is why we have recently partnered with the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Foundation and YWCA Greater Cincinnati. The Clermont Chamber of Commerce, as part of their “Agenda for the Future” initiative, fostered a Foundation project known as KLICWOW, or Kids Learn Early in Clermont - Wow. For the last two years, KLICWOW has provided completely free Amazon tablets and WOW Pouches to over 500 vulnerable children in Clermont County. The tablets provide access to recommended early learning applications, helping 3-4 year olds become better prepared for kindergarten success. By providing these resources, KLICWOW is facilitating equitable access to early learning for low income children– an opportunity their families would otherwise not be able to afford.

Are There Educational Apps for 3 and 4 Year Olds?

When people talk about tablets, they often default to apps that are designed for entertainment. While there’s nothing wrong with using a tablet for that purpose, it’s only scratching the surface in terms of what’s available. There is a vast number of educational apps for learners of all ages. That includes adults who want to do things like learn a new language, as well as young learners.

New Richmond Preschools Partner with the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Foundation KLICWOW Program

The Clermont County Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s KLICWOW program has entered into a partnership with the New Richmond Schools Preschool classes by sponsoring Amazon Fires for use in preschool classes.  KLICWOW has donated 16 Amazon Fires in Preschool classrooms.  The District used other preschool grant funds to equip all the preschool classes.

The partnership will evaluate the benefit of devices in preschool classes to help students develop literacy skills.

The KLICWOW program is a program that is part of the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce’s Agenda for the Future project.  The Clermont County Chamber of Commerce shares a strong commitment to providing the best educational opportunities for all the children in our Clermont County community.  The KLICWOW program 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.  The Chamber program provides a free tablet to each three and four-year old whose parent is committed to participate.  The Chamber has been able to provide tablets to more than 500 families since the program started. 

The New Richmond School Preschool Partnership Project is being evaluated to determine whether this is a way by which 3-5 year old children can be positively affected with literacy applications through devices and the KLICWOW program can best meet the needs of children in Clermont County and keep pace with the growing number of early childhood students.  More to come.
