Supporting Readiness
Kindergarten is a pivotal milestone, but not all children enter with the same readiness. Unfortunately in our experience the gaps in readiness have grown disproportionally larger. We address this by focusing on key developmental areas: social and emotional skills, motor development, life skills, language and communication, and advocacy. Grounded in our own experience and the latest research our content is delivered in simple, accessible and easy-to-understand videos and activities. We provide inclusive examples for diverse families, including those with special needs, low-income households, or multilingual backgrounds.
