Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Lack of school readiness is an issue that affects children from ALL walks of life. As a people of faith, we have a responsibility to ensure the children in our families, congregations, and communities receive the care and support they need to succeed. When we train up a child, we transform a community.
The Call:
