EducateNKY announces expansion of Read Ready Network

EducateNKY announced a series of major milestones strengthening the Read Ready Network, a regional early-learning initiative designed to ensure more Northern Kentucky children enter kindergarten ready to succeed.

Together the announcements mark a significant step forward for the growing network, including the integration of Read Ready Covington, the launch of the Network’s first corporate sponsorship with C-Forward, and a $150,000 grant from the Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation Northern Kentucky Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.

“These commitments signal a shared belief across cities and businesses that early learning is foundational to Northern Kentucky’s future,” said Dr. Jenny Watson, vice president of early learning and family power for EducateNKY. “The Read Ready Network is building the infrastructure needed to support families and drive real kindergarten-readiness gains across our region.”
