We are a coalition that includes early-care and public-school educators, city librarians, health-care professionals, policy makers, state and local government representatives, and above all, parents. Together we form what we call the R2LP community.

If you share our vision that one day all of our children will start school ready to learn, we hope you will spend some time looking through this website to learn about the many ways we are attaining that goal. Whether you are a parent, a provider or a concerned resident, you will find many opportunities where you, too, can participate and become part of this exciting endeavor.
