Empower your families
Ready4K is an evidence-based family engagement curriculum delivered via text messages. Each week, parents and caregivers receive text messages with fun facts and easy tips on how to promote their children’s development by building on existing family routines – like pointing out letters on the shampoo bottle during bath time and naming their sounds.
Serve the hardest-to-reach
Our access-first approach makes Ready4K a favorite way for community based organizations to deliver both high quality parenting curricula AND essential local resources right into families’ hands.
And we can help you partner with your local schools or Head Starts, boosting the impact of your program and the reach of their family engagement work.
- Available in 10+ languages
- Give families a strengths-based parenting curriculum, delivered wherever they are
- Select the program that best meets your families’ needs: whole child Core, Trauma-Informed, or Personalized Learning
- Send your own messages to connect families to local resources or information about upcoming events

What Partners Say About Ready4K
“We need to invest in things that parents don’t have to show up for, things that show up for parents in their homes.”
"We've all miscalculated how desperately families really wanted something like this."
"Parents really appreciate that it is simple, doesn't require anything additional, and stays on their phone."
“It’s not something that you have to manage. I don’t have to worry about putting together the data. And I don’t have to formulate a report - I love that part.”
