Our Story
Founded in 2001, Everybody Ready emerged from a commitment to prioritize children aged 0-5 in Wayne County, Michigan. With the support of the Colina Foundation, this initiative was born from the "Ready to Learn" summit, aiming to enhance public and private sector awareness of quality services for families. In 2006, Everybody Ready became the designated entity for Michigan’s Great Start Initiative, fostering collaboration among over 50 community leaders to build a comprehensive early childhood system.
