Dakota Iapi Resources

One of the goals of the website is to create a Dakota Iapi Repository. This will be a central location for all Dakota Iapi resources (videos, curriculum, apps, links to other websites and an online module). We want to make Dakota iapi easily accessible to as many people as possible.

Think Small

Children learn and develop quickly before age five. 90% of brain development happens during these crucial early years, and we want to help families take advantage of this important time.

Receive fun facts, and easy tips each week with ideas on how you can promote your child’s learning. Every Tuesday parents will receive a message that include Dakota language to help parents/grandparents/relatives speak to their children. Research shows when parents participate in this program their children are more prepared for kindergarten.
