Ready Region Southeastern

EVMS Minus 9 to 5 has been selected to lead Ready Regions Southeastern, which includes the City of Franklin, Southampton County, and Isle of Wight County. The main focus of Ready Regions Southeastern is to strengthen quality by means of the Virginia Quality Birth to Five System, build relationships with private and public stakeholders to ensure buy in, increase access to childcare through Coordinated Enrollment, and leverage the voices of parents and caregivers via the Family Engagement Council. In conjunction with Go and Grow Eastern Shore, Early Childhood Western Tidewater is a proud partner and supporter of these efforts and works collaboratively with EVMS Minus 9 to 5 to ensure equitable, high quality early childhood experiences within the region.
