Prep your little one for what's ahead
because knowing what's next changes everything
Science-backed books that help kids walk into new and challenging experiences — from the dentist to the first day of school — with confidence instead of fear.

Prep for every experience
Each book walks your child through a new or challenging experience — step by step, page by page — so they know exactly what to expect.




Built on how kids actually learn
Our books use cognitive rehearsal — the same evidence-based technique that Child Life Specialists use in hospitals — adapted for everyday parenting moments.
- Preview the experience — A step-by-step walkthrough helps reduce the "unknown" that can make kids uneasy
- Build a mental map — Kids form expectations so the real experience feels familiar
- Walk in with confidence — Preparation helps replace uncertainty with a sense of control

Used in clinics, hospitals & classrooms
Child Life Specialists, pediatricians, therapists, and early childhood educators trust ReadySetPrep to help prepare their youngest patients and students.
Real families, real prep
Don't just take our word for it — hear from the parents (and professionals) who use ReadySetPrep every day.
"My daughter had her first dentist appointment and she walked in like she owned the place. She kept saying 'I know what happens next, Mama!' Absolutely worth every penny."
"As a Child Life Specialist, I recommend these books to every family before a hospital visit. They do exactly what we do in pre-op — but parents can start at home."
"We've bought 8 of these books now. The haircut one literally saved us — our son went from screaming to sitting still. These are the most-used books on our shelf."

Hi, I'm Amy, M.Ed.
Founder of ReadySetPrep · Mom of 3
I created ReadySetPrep because I kept seeing the same thing — in my studies and in my own living room. Kids do better when they know what's coming.
With degrees in cognitive science and human development, I designed each book around the same evidence-based techniques used by Child Life Specialists in hospitals — adapted so any parent can use them at home, for any new or challenging experience.
