Children don’t grow up one program at a time.

From pregnancy through age eight, every stage of a child’s development shapes what comes next.

Get Ready Guilford is a countywide effort bringing families, organizations, and community partners together to strengthen support across the early years. We’re working to ensure children grow up healthy, enter kindergarten ready to learn, and succeed through the first years of school.

Looking for Support for Your Family?

Finding the right support shouldn’t depend on knowing which organization to call first. Explore programs and services available to children and families across Guilford County.

Our Priorities

Routes To Ready

Routes to Ready links parents and caregivers with trusted community partners to contribute to healthy development for Guilford County’s youngest children. Beginning prenatally and continuing through age 3, Routes to Ready navigates families to the unique combination of community resources and information families want, and children need.
