Free Kindergarten Readiness Program
Please note: This information is being provided at the request of parents. Thomas Edison Charter School does not require students to participate in the UPSTART program before attending our school.
UPSTART is an in-home, technology-delivered kindergarten readiness program that gives preschool-aged children individualized reading, math and science instruction with a focus on reading. All this is accomplished in just 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. You can pre-register your future kindergarteners for UPSTART now, even if they won't be starting kindergarten for a year or more.
How long does the UPSTART program last?
Participants should begin using the program in late summer, within a day or two of parent training. All families should continue using the program consistently until June 30th, and preferably until UPSTART graduation, usually held in July or August.
Can I register my younger children?
They recommend you pre-register any child who has at least one year before they will start kindergarten. They often have a waiting list and will accept children based on the date they pre-registered, so they recommend doing so early.
