Santa Rosa County School Readiness Coalition, Inc.

Santa Rosa County School Readiness Coalition, Inc. is a non-profit organization that provides school readiness services to children in Santa Rosa County, Florida. As a subrecipient of federal grants, it works to expand access to and improve the quality of early childhood education. The organization has received subawards from the Florida Department of Education through federal programs including the Child Care Development Fund, and multiple rounds of Preschool Development Grants. These grants have supported Santa Rosa's provision of school readiness programs, which aim to prepare children, especially from low-income families, for success in kindergarten and elementary school.

Specifically, the federal subawards received by Santa Rosa County School Readiness Coalition have focused on preschool instruction, childcare subsidies, and other services that promote early learning. The Coalition has used this grant funding to operate its own school readiness programs and partner with local childcare centers and preschools to enhance curricula and teacher training. This work is aligned with the goals of the federal grants to expand access, quality, and equity in early childhood education. Through these subawards totaling over $500,000, the Coalition has served as a conduit for federal funds to facilitate school readiness programs benefiting young children in Santa Rosa County.
