What Families Will Learn
How the Program Works
Ready Together is a three-week parent-and-child learning program featuring interactive, hands-on activities. Parents and caregivers learn strategies alongside their children and practice ways to continue using those skills at home.
How the Program Works
Families attend three weekly sessions together. Each session introduces two parts of Scoop’s Promise through a children’s book, a hands-on activity, and time for caregivers and children to practice the skills together. Families receive simple materials and ideas to continue practicing at home.
What Families Receive
Participating families will receive:
- Children's books
- Hands-on activities
- Learning kits
- Take-home resources
- Family practice materials
These resources help parents and caregivers continue practicing the skills introduced during the program.
Program Goals/Outcomes
Ready Together is designed to empower up to 15 families with practical tools and resources that strengthen:
- Social-emotional development
- Positive behavior
- Parent-child learning
- Early school-readiness skills
