“I think Ready4K fills a need that no other program I’ve been able to find to date can fill.”

Rooted in Research. Proven in Practice.
It starts with our focus on access. More than 95% of families use text message, which makes it the perfect way to deliver evidence-based curricula to birth through 8th grade families each week in 10+ languages.
With Core, Trauma-Informed, and developmental data-driven Personalized Learning family engagement solutions, Ready4K is the only provider with general support, support for families working to overcome the trauma of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and support for children with potential developmental delays.
Next is ease of implementation. The Ready4K Dashboard turns everything from enrollment to reporting into a one-click process. From research-based surveys to on-demand surveying tools and end-of-year impact reports, the dashboard will lighten your reporting load.
Through Family workshops, the Ready4K family communication system, and additional educator supports we make it easy to increase your impact.
And with the strongest evidence base in the field, it’s clear to see why organizations across the country choose Ready4K.
