Ready for Success

The Infant Welfare Society of Evanston and School District 69 have partnered to establish an innovative national model for early childhood education, which offers families comprehensive support and resources from Prenatal services to 5yrs. Ready For Success graduates enter kindergarten ready to learn on a lifelong path for success. This program was established through generous funding by The Illinois State Board of Education.
