A few weeks ago, friends, family, ReadyKids staff, and community members gathered together to honor Eddie Harris. The City commemorated his profound impact on our community through a bench dedication in Washington Park.
Eddie touched countless lives through programs like REAL Dads and Engaged Fathers & Men. We know his reach extended far beyond these two touchpoints. He leaves behind a powerful legacy of service and a deep love for his community.
Thank you to the City of Charlottesville for celebrating the life and legacy of our dear friend, Eddie. ❤️

Many kids love to take risks while playing. Studies show that giving your toddler the space to explore developmentally-appropriate risks can have long-term benefits and keep them safer in the future. Independent, exploratory play can also have a positive impact on mental health. Being able to take risks, play independently, and even get hurt, sets your child up for success in future stressful situations and helps them feel equipped to handle whatever life throws at them!

Here's your reminder to play today! Mr. Rogers said “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play IS serious learning.”
Some benefits of play-based learning:
⭐ Boosts creativity
⭐ Builds social skills
⭐ Supports language development and fine-motor skills
⭐ Keeps kids engaged
⭐ Instills a love for learning!
