Kinder Ready Clinics: A Collaborative Model for Creating Equitable and Engaged Early Learning Environments for Low-income Families

Abstract

Disparities in children's school readiness (SR) in the U.S. are well-documented and have detrimental long-term consequences. Clinic-based early education interventions are limited. This report summarizes collaborative efforts of pediatricians and community stakeholders to develop and implement clinic-based interventions to promote early learning and SR among low-income children.
