What Are Community Collaboratives?

We all know it takes a village to raise a child.

Think of your local Kindergarten Readiness Community Collaborative as your main street.

We are made up of child care centers, health experts, and your local school district to ensure that both you and your child have access to the resources you need as you embark on the road to kindergarten.

Towards a brighter future for all children
