Join a growing network of communities using Parent Academy to provide kindergarten-readiness support to families so every child begins school with the tools needed to thrive.
Parent Academy is a free program that supports families in preparing their children for kindergarten, with a focus on oral language development, early literacy, early math skills, and general development.
Communities interested in joining the Parent Academy network as a partner site for the 2026–2027 academic year should complete the application and submit it by 5 p.m. Friday, July 31.
