The images used in this report are for illustrative purposes only
With a robust 93-year
history, our predecessors
could never have
imagined the evolution
of our organization.
Beginning as an
orphanage in the 1920s,
the organization has
emerged as a multiprogram private
non-profit supporting
nearly 7,000 area kids,
families and child care
providers every year.

We are thrilled to add another milestone to our
agency’s story by changing our name to ReadyKids.
Our new name better reflects what we do, makes
a statement about what we strive to achieve, and
illustrates our intention to keep up with the changing
needs of our community’s kids. Yet, our most
important goal is to increase our accessibility to
the kids and families we partner with every day.
Beverly Adams
We may have changed our name, but not our
programs or unwavering focus and commitment
to the well-being of kids in the Charlottesville area.
It is our collective efforts that ensure all of our
community’s kids are Ready to Learn, Ready
for Relationships and ultimately Ready for Life.
Kelley MacDougall
Join us in celebrating the achievements, both past
and present, of children, families and child care
providers in our community. We look forward to
continuing to partner with you to open doors
to bright futures for kids for years to come.
