Starting Strong: A Family’s Guide from Prenatal to Pre-K
As a parent, your child’s future begins with the choices and actions you make today. From the earliest days of life, every step you take plays a crucial role in shaping their path to success. Whether you’re welcoming a newborn into your family or guiding your child toward kindergarten, now is the time to focus on the support, connection, and resources that will help them thrive.
Born Ready: Prenatal to 12 Months – Your Well-Being Matters
How are you feeling, parent? When you thrive, your baby thrives. The transition into parenthood can bring a whirlwind of emotions and changes, but it’s important to remember: you are the foundation of your child’s well-being. Research shows that social connections and support networks are key to managing stress and adjusting to these life changes.
In 2024, the Baby on Board Social Club launched—an opportunity for parents in our community to connect, share experiences, and focus on their own well-being in a welcoming environment. Whether you’re a first-time parent or you’ve been through it before, building strong relationships with others can help you navigate this exciting (and sometimes overwhelming!) time.
Join us to meet other families, share stories, and access valuable resources to support your parenting journey.

Independence Ready: Newborn to Kindergarten – Preparing for the Big Step
Is your child ready for kindergarten? Whether they’re just starting their readiness journey or already preparing for their first day of school, now is the time to take action. Starting early can make a huge difference in setting your child up for success when they enter the classroom.
For families with children about to start kindergarten, it’s essential to assess how ready they are for this new chapter. Have you had your child’s Kindergarten Readiness Assessment-Revised (KRA-R)? This assessment provides insights into your child’s development and will help you plan for their academic and social growth. This assessment is completed by the school your child will attend. FACCES K Ready Ohio can support you in developing your child’s skills to be kindergarten ready!
Tip: If your child is already in kindergarten, be sure to request their KRA-R report from their teacher and upload it into FACCES K Ready Ohio. The earlier you take action, the better equipped your child will be to transition smoothly into their educational journey.
