Most Head Start programs made their parenting curriculum decision before the current pandemic drastically altered the landscape for schools and programs across the nation. In fact, even before COVID19, ReadyRosie™ was the only research-based parenting curriculum on the Parenting Curriculum Review Database put out by the Office of Head Start that included the delivery of parent resources digitally.

With nationwide uncertainty about what “back to school” might look like, it is a good opportunity for programs to re-evaluate how their choice of parenting curriculum is able to adapt to environments that are likely to involve much less opportunities for live and in-person parenting trainings.

Here are some critical items to consider when re-evaluating your parenting curriculum and an outline of how ReadyRosie™ can support these needs:
