Oh, G. We feel you, kiddo. Work isn't as fun over Zoom either.

One of the things we love most about working with kids is how they don't mince words. ReadyKids staff love hearing kid stories and honoring their experiences. Every day, our ReadyKids Counselors, Parenting Coaches, and Early Childhood Educators are listening to the #RemarkableResilientReady kids of our area and are continually impressed.

Part of our #SunshineBalloonProject is collecting the stories of #Charlottesville kids and how they've experienced 2020. Take some time today to ask your child some of our interview questions to hear their experience of this year. To find the questions, visit https://readykidscville.org/sunshineballoonproject/ and then click on "Kids! Tell Us Your Stories!"

We are so grateful to the kid-friendly local businesses who agreed to put Sunshine kits by their registers.

Lower income students are less likely to have access to high quality remote learning or to a conducive learning environment, such as a quiet space with minimal distractions, devices they do not need to share, high-speed Internet, and parental academic supervision.

Kids are #RemarkableResilientReady. ReadyKids is in #Charlottesville to help kids have access to more early learning opportunities, even now.

"You are the bright future of our world. Keep being awesome!"

Help kids feel hope for their own bright futures by participating in the #SunshineBalloonProject!

Time magazine recently said 57% of children receiving mental health care receive it at school. With schools closed, many children facing the anxiety and loneliness of this pandemic have no one to talk to about it.

Parents are seeing more clinginess, bedtimes moving later and later as kids struggle to fall asleep, and regressions in potty training.

"The goal, for parents and professionals and other care givers, is to help ease that pain, to make the now more bear-able for kids, so that their [future] memories will be too." - @time

Keep cheering on our kids and making the now more bear-able through our #SunshineBalloonProject. Remind kids that they are #RemarableResilientReady.

"Cville children, you are community super heroes! We love you!"
