What Are the LRCs and How Can They Help My Child?
The Learning Resource Centers (LRCs) are part of a statewide network providing educational materials that may be borrowed to help educate children, particularly those with special educational needs. Three instructional materials centers-one in each county-form the Delaware Learning Resource System (DLRS).
This spring the Dover LRC received a grant from the Developmental Disabilities Council to purchase materials for children who have communication disorders. Many materials are now available for borrowing, along with books, videotapes, puzzles, and manipulative materials. There are finger puppets, big books (and small ones, too) that come with objects to use in telling the stories, and software to help teach reading and math.
The New Castle County Center is housed in the Education Resource Center at the University of Delaware in Newark (302-831-8148), the Kent County Center is located in Central Middle School in Dover (302-672-1958), and the Sussex County Center is in the Child Development Center of the Owens Campus of Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown (302-855-1649).
Materials may be borrowed at no charge from any Center, and Centers are open year-round. Call any of the Centers for their hours and instructions on how to borrow materials.
