Helping parents prepare their children to enter school Kindergarten Ready using AI tools

Kindergarten readiness is a reliable measure of academic success.

Thanks to accessible AI tools in 144+ languages, we have developed and are expanding a PreK curriculum that can be delivered via solar-powered cellphones to communities anywhere in the world, enabling parents and families to prepare their toddlers for success in school. In the wake of recent disruptions in our educational system, fewer than 25% of toddlers entering school in our communities were meeting that metric. Parents asked Altera for help, and we responded.

  • When students enter school unprepared for kindergarten, it often takes them more than twelve years to graduate.
  • Research has connected kindergarten readiness with better academic achievement and outcomes, from third-grade reading to on-time graduation.
  • Our AI-assisted approaches not only work for families in rural Washington, but also in isolated communities all over the world where there is access to low-tech cell phones.
