A Holistic Approach
Successful school readiness models integrate health, nutrition, early care and education, early intervention and support services.
This report describes six local government efforts to achieve improved school readiness for young children. Selected by early childhood experts, examples across five states — including two California counties — highlight some of the most effective and innovative approaches to address community needs around early childhood school readiness.
Early learning systems that aim to achieve improved school readiness are most effective when they are locally embedded at the neighborhood level. In this way, early learning experiences and supports best meet the specific needs of young children and their families.
