It forms part of a package of support, announced by the education secretary Damian Hinds, worth £1.6 million, to help children and families living on the North Yorkshire coast – a Government Opportunity Area.
It is being funded through the Government's Opportunity Area programme.
One of the schemes, worth £800,000, will be to improve children's communication and literacy skills.
It will include funding 40 speech and language champions who will work with nurseries and pre-schools in the area to help them identify when children might need better support and ensure they arrive at school ready to learn.
For parents struggling to help their young children with reading, writing and language, a number of community workshops run by early years experts will be organised.
