About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine how a clinic-based school readiness coaching session conducted by a community health worker for parents of 3-5-year-olds affects children's School Readiness (SR) skills and parents early SR knowledge and behaviors. The main questions it aims to answer are: What impact does the clinic-based coaching session have on preschool-aged children's school readiness skills and their parents' confidence in supporting and practicing early math and literacy behaviors at home? Participants will receive a 1-hr coaching session at their pediatric clinic and return after three months for a follow-up session. Researchers will compare pre-and-post child and parent SR outcomes between these two sessions.
