Summary

This study looks at whether a program called CenteringParenting, where parents and children attend well-child visits in a group setting, can improve kindergarten readiness. Researchers will follow 1,200 low-income families and measure children's language skills at 12 and 24 months, along with parenting behaviors. The goal is to see if this low-cost, scalable approach helps close the developmental gap for at-risk children.
