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 as measured by the Brigance Early Childhood Screen III? and What impact does the clinic-based coaching session have on parents' confidence in supporting and practicing early math and literacy behaviors at home using the DREME Parent Beliefs Survey? The secondary question this study aims to evaluate is: Does the 1-hr school readiness coaching session affect rates of well-child checks at the pediatric clinic? 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 Brigance scores for the child and pre-and post parent SR confidence DREME scores.
