Last night, Read Ready hosted an Ages & Stages training led by EC LEARN in Covington.

As we continue advancing our Child Find efforts, we’re building the capacity of our communities to connect families to developmental screenings and supports earlier in a child’s development—beginning at just 2 months old.

A great night of learning, partnership, and strengthening our early childhood ecosystem across the River Cities!

Every Child. Every Family. Ready for Kindergarten. 💛

📚 Read Ready meets Queen City Books!

There’s nothing better than bringing together people who believe in the power of books, early learning, and strong communities. ❤️

We loved connecting with Queen City Books and celebrating a shared goal—getting more books into the hands of children and families across our River Cities.

Every Child. Every Family. Ready for Kindergarten. 📖✨
