 At PlayReadVIP, we know that parents are the real VIPs.

How does it work? ​​⬇️


PlayRead​VIP uses the 
power of video feedback
to support parents
​and caregivers and build upon their strengths.

​​Parents build positive parenting skills like talking, teaching, reading, and playing - all known to have strong benefits for early relational health and children's school readiness.


​Parents and caregivers work towards ​their own goals, with opportunities to play and learn with their child.  VIP visits include strengths-based feedback​ and a fun toy or book to keep.

We know families are busy, and PlayReadVIP is built to be convenient. Visits with a PlayReadVIP Coach are offered in places where parents are already going: the pediatrician's office, a community center, their own home, or even virtually.

PlayReadVIP is Research Proven.
​

This program has been rigorously studied by a world-class team of pediatricians and developmental psychologists. 

​This research includes 4 different randomized-controlled trials with over 1,000 participants from three different cities. The evidence is clear: PlayReadVIP works.

Improved Early Relational Health
  • Increased reading, play, talking, teaching (Mendelsohn, 2011; Cates, 2018; Roby, 2021; Miller, 2023)
  • Decreased screen time (Mendelsohn, 2011)
  • Decreased physical punishment (Canfield, 2015)
Improved Child Development
  • Increased language, literacy, and cognition (Mendelsohn, 2005, 2007, 2013; Miller, 2024)
  • Increased social-emotional development (Weisleder, 2016; Mendelsohn, 2018; Canfield, 2023)
  • Decreased need for Early Intervention referral/evaluation (Mendelsohn, 2020)
Improved Family Outcomes
  • Decreased maternal depressive symptoms (Berkule, 2014)
  • Decreased parenting stress (Cates, 2015)
High Engagement
  • ​Increased attendance for difficult-to-engage families (Miller, 2019)
  • Increased attendance in higher intensity and clinical services (e.g., home visiting) (Canfield, 2023)
Additional Takeaways
  • Impacts are sustained 1-2 years following program completion
  • Findings have been replicated across diverse populations in two cities
  • Impacts are found even after single dose
  • Early impacts assessed pre-COVID buffer child development following pandemic onset
  • Impacts are 2-generational
