Ready Freddy is an evidence-based program through Alamance Achieves, that aims to improve the transition into kindergarten and takes place the year before the child is to start school.  This program is especially helpful for children who did not attend a formal pre-school and have little to no experience with the structure that being in a classroom brings.  Children who participated in Ready Freddy scored higher, on average, on the ABSS Kindergarten Screener’s measurements of academic, social, emotional, and motor skill readiness than their peers who did not attend the program. In addition, parents reported feeling more confident about supporting their child’s transition into kindergarten and incorporated additional early learning activities at home. 

Currently, this program is on pause due to Alamance Achieves going through turnover and trying to reorganize.
