For more than 30 years, Ready To Learn has helped children and families access high-quality educational content through public media and community partnerships.

A new EDC report highlights three decades of evidence showing how these investments have supported and expanded opportunities for children to gain literacy, math, science, and problem-solving skills while helping caregivers become active partners in learning.

At a time when questions about children's learning and technology are everywhere, the findings offer something increasingly rare: long-term evidence about what works.

Well-child visits play an important role in prevention, screening, and early identification of childhood concerns, but families often need support navigating what happens before, during, and after those appointments.

That’s where home visitors can make a powerful difference.

In a new blog post, Jamie Jobe shares how the EDC-led HV CoIIN Well-Child Visits Collaborative helped home visiting teams develop practical strategies to support families in preparing for, completing, and following up on well-child visits.
