That is the idea driving Get Ready Guilford, a program launched in 2018 by the Duke Endowment, centered in Guilford County, North Carolina. The organization Ready for School, Ready for Life (Ready Ready), located in Guilford County, was already working to create and coordinate early childhood services for families; the nonprofit has a long history in the region, and a demonstrated commitment to early childhood issues. Get Ready Guilford has a long list of community partners, including Head Start, Early Head Start, and Guilford County Schools.
