The Stanford Center on Early Childhood put a spotlight on Ready for School, Ready for Life, calling us the “circulatory system” for Guilford County’s early childhood data. This feature describes how we work with partners to connect and coordinate the flow of early childhood information and how that benefits the children and families of Guilford County. This approach is unique to the collaborative system of care Ready Ready is helping to build because, in the words of our Chief Operating Officer Jacqueline McCracken, “similar organizations are either linking data across partners to improve continuity of service or linking administrative and programmatic data sets for more of an analytic intention. But they aren’t doing both at the same time.”
