What does it take to ensure every child starts kindergarten ready to learn, and whose responsibility is it?
In this episode of Plant the Seed of Learning, Dr. Crystal Loose and Dr. Aimee Ketchum welcome Kristy Craig, Executive Director of ReadyKids!, and Kari, a former classroom teacher and ReadyKids! team member, to explore how one Florida community is working together to give children a stronger start.
With approximately half of children in Escambia County entering kindergarten without the skills they need to succeed, ReadyKids! is tackling school readiness through early literacy, family engagement, mentoring, and community partnerships.
Kristy and Kari share insights into the skills children need beyond letters and numbers, the impact of their ReadingPals mentoring program, and how their Kindergarten, Here We Come! initiative helps children and families navigate the transition to school.
Together, they discuss why kindergarten readiness is about much more than academics and how educators, families, businesses, and policymakers can work together to ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
Because kindergarten readiness isn't just a school issue. It's a community responsibility.
