READY4K

At Smart Start of Mecklenburg County, we know that learning begins at birth and that children’s first teachers are their parents and caregivers. From trips to the grocery store to family mealtimes, every ordinary moment of the day can be a time for learning. That’s why we’re investing in Ready4K.

WHAT IS READY4K?

It’s a research-based text-messaging program for parents with young children. Each week, you will receive age-appropriate facts, tips and opportunities to boost your child age birth to five’s learning by building on existing family routines.

WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP?

All parents want their children to succeed but many run out of ideas. Ready4K can help! The research behind this tool shows that receiving helpful texts can significantly increase children’s learning. This tool is easy to use and free, though data and message rates do apply.
