Learn about a home-based, technology-delivered kindergarten-readiness program that can be used as a stand-alone (in rural areas where services are limited and transportation is a challenge or when families in any locale choose not to send their children to center-based preschool) or as a complement to site-based preschool (when children need additional cognitive development or non-native speaking children need additional English language practice). UPSTART—the winner of an i3 Validation Grant—has learned how to successfully partner with and support parents to get children ready for school (99% of parents say participation was beneficial and helped prepare their child for school) and five years of learning results data including an external evaluation.
