Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready Unveils National Initiative to Cultivate Entrepreneurial Skills in Early Learners.
Summary: Kinder Ready, the leading early childhood education and tutoring organization founded by Elizabeth Fraley, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Young Innovators Program, a new initiative designed to inspire entrepreneurial thinking and creativity among early learners.
The Young Innovators Program represents an evolution in how early education can prepare children for a world where entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a key driver of future success. Fueled by research showing that creative thinking, self-starting behavior, and resilience from early in childhood — long before traditional business education begins, Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready’s new initiative introduces structured, age-appropriate entrepreneurial experiences tailored to young learners and supported by families and educators alike.
“Children are natural creators and problem solvers,” said Elizabeth Fraley, CEO and founder of Kinder Ready. “With the Young Innovators Program, we are showing families and educators how to nurture these tendencies in ways that align with developmental readiness and joyful learning. This isn’t about turning preschoolers into CEOs — it’s about empowering them to think independently, take smart risks, and see possibilities.”
The Young Innovators Program incorporates interactive workshops, project-based tasks, and guided reflection opportunities that help children explore the core pillars of entrepreneurship, creativity, collaboration, leadership, and initiative. Through playful challenges such as “Idea Discovery Days,” where children generate solutions to everyday problems, and “Mini Market Days,” where they learn to share and discuss their creations with peers, participants gain early exposure to real-world skills while strengthening critical thinking and communication.
Central to the initiative is the platform’s belief that entrepreneurial thinking begins with confidence and curiosity, two qualities embedded in Elizabeth Fraley’s educational philosophy. With years of experience as an educator, classroom director, and founder of a respected early learning organization, Elizabeth Fraley Education has always emphasized the importance of nurturing the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally, so that learning becomes more than memorization, and becomes exploration.
The program also engages parents as partners in the learning journey. The platform provides families with tools, conversation starters, and at-home activities that extend entrepreneurial concepts into daily life. Parents receive guidance on how to turn ordinary moments, whether choosing how to solve a problem on the playground or deciding how to share responsibilities at home into meaningful reflections on initiative and collaboration. By connecting classroom experiences with everyday life, the platform helps young children make sense of abstract entrepreneurial ideas through tangible experiences.
Educators and early childhood specialists have responded positively to the announcement, noting that entrepreneurial skills like resilience, flexibility, and self-advocacy align with essential competencies for future academic and life success. Early exposure to such thinking not only enhances traditional learning outcomes such as vocabulary, numeracy, and cognitive flexibility but also supports social-emotional growth and an empowered sense of agency that teachers increasingly prioritize.
In announcing this program, Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready highlights the importance of reimagining early education as a foundation not just for academic achievement but for lifelong confidence and motivation. By embedding entrepreneurial exploration within a developmentally appropriate curriculum, the program aims to ensure that every child’s spark of curiosity can grow into enduring confidence and initiative.
Elizabeth Fraley Education’s approach at Kinder Ready has long championed individualized learning that respects each child’s pace and style. The Young Innovators Program marks another milestone in Kinder Ready’s mission to prepare children not only with readiness for school but with readiness for life — where thinking creatively and acting confidently are as important as reading or counting.
