Be Part of the Change
There are over 8,000 babies born every year in Pinellas County. Getting every one of them ready for kindergarten by the time they’re five years old is a job that takes every one of us living alongside them — from friends, families, teachers, and neighbors, to the folks who live and work with them and their caregivers.
