Parenting is a critical mediator of children's school readiness. In line with this theory of change, data from the randomized clinical trial of Smart Beginnings (tiered Video Interaction Project and Family Check‐Up;N= 403, treatment armn= 201) were used to examine treatment impacts on early language and literacy skills at child age 4 years (nLatinx= 168,nBlack= 198,nMale= 203), as well as indirect impacts through parental support of cognitive stimulation at child age 2 years. Although results did not reveal direct effects on children's early skills, there were significant indirect effects for early literacy (β= .03,p= .05) and early language (β= .04,p= .04) via improvements in parental cognitive stimulation. Implications for interventions targeting parenting to improve children's school readiness beginning at birth are discussed.
