About Initiative 

The School Readiness Program engages families, community members, and educators in the important work of preparing children, birth to age five, for elementary school. This Initiative adopted the definition of school readiness developed by the National Education Goals Panel (NEGP)* which covers three aspects of a child’s life:

• children’s readiness for school,
• schools’ readiness for children, family and community support, and
• services that contribute to children’s readiness for school success.
