First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study tests two programs designed to help low-income parents prepare their 3- to 4-year-old children for kindergarten. One program gives parents a simple checklist; the other pairs families with a community health worker for personalized coaching. Researchers will measure children's school readiness skills and whether they enroll in preschool.
