EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MATTERS

Without a doubt, quality early childhood investments position communities for future success. When you invest just $1 into early childhood education, studies have shown it can return up to $17, in savings over time in increased high school graduation rates, decreased crime, a strong workforce, and reduced remedial costs in lower elementary education.

​

THE POTENTIAL
Studies show exposure to quality preschool experiences account for a dramatic increase of social-emotional and intellectual skills.

THE BARRIER
79% of parents tell us that cost is their leading obstacle to enrolling in early childhood programs to increase readiness.

THE SOLUTION
Ready for school is creating communities of readiness where all children thrive and reach their full potential. Our work prepares children, 0-5y, for success in kindergarten by equipping parents and families through integrated support in the community.
