More than half of our children in Escambia County are testing "not ready" when they enter kindergarten. We know that kindergarten readiness is directly correlated to 3rd grade reading, graduating on time, and ultimately on a path to prosperity. Let's invest on the front end!

School has begun and our pre-kindergarten students, teachers and families are gearing up for a year like no other. With challenges, come opportunities and now ECARE is able to serve more students than ever.

Listen in to one of our parents, Alexis, as she shares the impact she saw ECARE have on her daughter who was in VPK last year. And we can tell you, her daughter is READY for kindergarten. Join us in making sure all of our students in the community start that way!

With COVID-19 threatening the achievement gap that we already know we have, we must be innovative and reach our children and families wherever they are.
