Strong Starts. Brighter Futures.
Ready for school means ready for life. Guided by research and local data, the Kindergarten Readiness Collective Action Network (KCAN) focuses on strategies to prepare more children for school.
By focusing on high-impact projects such as early childhood screening and addressing social determinants of health, we are working to engage families and communities where young children need additional support to be ready to learn.
Our Goal:
Every child achieves school readiness.
How We Work
KCAN focuses on high-impact strategies that strengthen early childhood development and address barriers to learning. By prioritizing early screenings, family engagement, and the social determinants of health, we connect families to the support they need—especially in communities where young children benefit from additional resources.
