Empowering Parents as Their Children’s Most Influential Teachers

During a child’s early years, parents and caregivers play a key role in shaping language, literacy, math, and social-emotional skills. Active engagement of families and caregivers is the most effective way to make those critical developmental years count.

How READY! for Kindergarten Works

READY! for Kindergarten consists of Age Level Targets©, Training, and Tools to Play With a Purpose making learning at home fun and effective. Parents attend three 90-minute in-person or online workshops for each of the first five years of their child’s life. School districts and organizations offer READY! to help close the achievement gap by partnering with parents so more children succeed in school and in life.

Available in English & Spanish.
