ABOUT READY FOR SCHOOL, READY FOR LIFE
Ready for School, Ready for Life (Ready Ready) is a collaborative effort to build a connected, innovative system of care for Guilford County’s youngest children and their families.
This initiative was born in 2007 from a community effort focused on reducing poverty in Guilford County. In 2017, The Duke Endowment, North Carolina's largest private foundation, and Blue Meridian Partners, a national partnership of results-oriented philanthropists, joined the effort to promote economic and social mobility. As investees in early childhood initiatives, they joined other funders who together tapped Ready Ready to build a long-term, comprehensive, evidence-based approach to improving childhood outcomes for Guilford County. This is system-building work at its core.
As an entrepreneurial start-up organization with a forward-looking vision and a $6M budget, Ready Ready is dedicated to building innovative solutions and shaping the future of early childhood care. Please note that while we are deeply committed to supporting young children and their families, our work does not involve direct interaction with children with the exception of a few roles. Instead, we focus on equipping our partners with the tools and resources they need to make a lasting impact in the community. That includes state agencies, medical home providers, education systems, and community-based organizations.
