Level 4 children at kindergartens across the country

1: Research projects applied to educational contexts
Development, implementation and evaluation of a program to encourage school readiness among families. The beneficiaries will be reached in their homes through digital notifications sent to the family; and the messages will be personalized based on each child’s development profile obtained from INDI (development assessment tool in teaching settings at early education levels 3, 4 and 5).
In 2023, the research team will work throughout the national territory, forming 3 population groups according to the type of notification they will receive: personalized, general and control group.
The team will evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions during the school year and during the summer, expecting to observe a positive impact on children's cognitive development and concluding whether the intervention is most beneficial when administered at specific times of the year or in an extended way.
The amount indicated as granted to each program is the one approved by Fundación ReachingU Board of Directors. The funds that each organization receives may differ due to adjustments made to the programs or variations in the exchange rate.
