Goal #1: Children Enter Kindergarten School Ready
- Parent: Read to your child every day, Talk to your child every day!
- Parent: If your child attends an early childhood education program, make sure it has a state or national accreditation
- Parent: Play with your young child everyday; Make sure they know how to follow directions; Let them help you around the house, talking about colors and shapes
- Public: Use and share the Born Learning Guides and to help children ages birth through 5 years grow and learn
- Public: Help your child be ready for Kindergarten! Use and share the Parent Guides for your Pre-K child to understand what they are learning in school and support it at home
- Public: Support funding for early childhood education and access to high quality, full day Pre-K for all students who need that support. In the state of Texas, conservatively, every dollar invested in quality child care and pre-k programs results in a $3.50 return on investment per participating child.
- Business: Support childcare on site or help your employees with access to high quality early childhood education
- Choose Quality Childcare (Find what to look for, use Child Care Aware - For specific childcare use TX Child Search)
