Summary

This study tests whether a family wellness program helps Latino children entering kindergarten improve their language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. The program includes 8 weekly summer workshops, booster sessions, and text messages over 10 months. Researchers will compare these families to those receiving usual care plus school supplies and a resource list.
