How is this program free?
Waterford.org is an education nonprofit working to help all children succeed in school. In partnership with the state of Wisconsin, our goal is to remove barriers families face when it comes to early learning.
The state of Wisconsin wants to invest in your child’s future, so they have funded the Waterford Upstart online PreK learning program for four-year-olds and others in the year before they enter kindergarten.
This state funding means it costs you nothing!
More than 150,000 children have used Waterford Upstart across the country
Families spend 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week on early literacy skills with their children
Upstart grads achieve 2–3x the learning gains compared to their peers
