TOOLS FOR PARENTS

Supporting Your Child’s Learning, Language, and Culture

At YOUPI Creole TV, we believe parents are a child’s first teachers. That’s why we created this resource page—to equip families with simple, fun, and meaningful tools that support language learning and cultural connection at home. Whether you are teaching Haitian Creole for the first time or reinforcing what your child is already learning, YOUPI makes the experience easy and enjoyable.

Why YOUPI Supports Parents

Many parents want their children to learn Haitian Creole or experience more Haitian culture, but may not know where to start. YOUPI fills that gap by offering child-friendly, parent-approved resources that blend learning with creativity. With YOUPI, you don’t need to be fluent in Creole to teach it—you simply need a desire to share your culture. We provide everything else.
