Ready! Set! School! is a research-based curriculum based on the Utah Pre-Kindergarten Guidelines. Using research to create activities that help develop pre-kindergarten skills, Ready! Set! School! creatively provides ideas and tips for parents to take advantage of everyday moments as well as prepare special activities that can assist children in their development.
Ready! Set! School! also draws from best practices in the field for adult online learning in order to create an effective and user-friendly website to ensure that parents who access this program via internet will understand and access relevant information about Ready! Set! School!
