High-quality early childhood care and education for children ages 0 to 5 is fundamentally important to nurturing ready kids, ready parents, and ready communities. Early childhood programs are essential to the success of families and our economies. Yet, they have been chronically undervalued and underfunded. The time is now to build a system that supports both the people providing these services and the families who rely on them.
We can achieve this as a region by raising awareness of need for dedicated local public funding for children ages 0 to 5. Through local investment, we can lift up and strengthen the early childhood workforce AND foster a generation of children who are prepared and empowered to impact their communities and advance the St. Louis region.
Dollars donated to Ready by Five will go towards organizing our community and raising awareness for the need for dedicated local public funding for children age 0 to 5.
