“Until we started using ParentPowered, I thought of family engagement as a face-to-face activity. But now I have a broader view of what we can do.”
Iris Estada
Coordinator for Early Childhood, Corpus Christi ISD
Rooted in Research. Proven in Practice.
It starts with our focus on access. More than 95% of families use text message, which makes it the perfect way to deliver evidence-based curricula to birth through 12th grade families each week in 10+ languages.
Next is ease of implementation. The ParentPowered Dashboard turns everything from enrollment to reporting into a one-click process. From research-based surveys to on-demand surveying tools and end-of-year impact reports, the dashboard will lighten your reporting load.
Through Family workshops, the ParentPowered family communication system, and additional educator supports we make it easy to increase your impact.
And with the strongest evidence base in the field, it’s clear to see why organizations across Wisconsin, and the country, choose Ready4K.

What Partners Are Saying About ParentPowered
ParentPowered gives everyone concrete strategies to help their children with both specific academic skills and social emotional skills. It also gives parents important developmental information about their children as well as encouragement for the tough job of parenting. It's actually one of the only things I have purchased, in my 35 years of work in education, that every time I get something, I say to myself "that is so good; I am so glad we use this!" I love what you are doing!
“We need to invest in things that parents don’t have to show up for, things that show up for parents in their homes.”
"We've all miscalculated how desperately families really wanted something like this."
"Parents really appreciate that it is simple, doesn't require anything additional, and stays on their phone."
"The biggest surprise was how easy the process was."
"ParentPowered is a great way to remind families that as a Catholic church, we're rooting for them."
“The ParentPowered program is a resource for families that is practical and will actually help them advance their child’s development not only academically but also socially and emotionally.”
“What I love about it is that I can send out messages like ‘we’ve got a meeting at this time and place.’ And they all get it — Boom.”
"I think ParentPowered fills a need that no other program I've been able to find to date can fill."
"Connect with families in such an easy format... with ideas that are easily usable... It almost seemed like a no-brainer -- like why wouldn't you?"
