The Parent Experience

The Ready4K program is based on leading research that children experience 2+ months additional growth when their caregivers receive simple, specific activities that fit easily into their everyday routines.

  1. Easy to Implement
    You provide 3 pieces of information: caregiver phone number, child name, and child age or grade. Ready4K takes it from there.
  2. Messages Begin Engaging Families
    Every week, each enrolled caregiver gets 3 Ready4K messages - a Fact, Tip, and Growth message differentiated for their child.
  3. Parents Get a Whole Curriculum  in 45-Second Texts
    Each message is carefully crafted and sequenced to create a holistic curriculum that integrates SEL and academic learning.
    Your program can include the Ready4K Core, Trauma-Informed,  or Personalized Learning curriculum
  4. Your Program Reaches All Families
    Accessibility is paramount, so every message is delivered through the most commonly used format available: text messaging.

    98% of adults use text and it has a 400% greater open rate than email.    (York & Loeb, 2014) One step at a time: The effects of an early literacy text messaging program for parents of preschoolers (Source)
