Get Kids Ready Program

What is Get Kids Ready?


Get Kids Ready is a new, free initiative for 4-year-olds in child care to get school readiness instruction at their child care provider. 

This new program enhances school readiness instruction in participating child care providers across Wisconsin, while state funding will make Get Kids Ready free for families. 

Through this program NH offers:

  • A curriculum that meets the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards

  • 437 hours of elementary school readiness instruction per year

  • Lead teachers with an associate or bachelor’s degree

  • Meeting and exceeding state expectations for child health, safety, and well-being 

Children must be 4 years old by September 1, 2026, to participate in Get Kids Ready. 

Enroll your child in a nurturing program focused on growth, safety, and early learning.
