In Orlando, Florida, K Ready WORKS (Whole-Child Outreach for Readiness and Kindergarten Success) is focused on advancing kindergarten readiness starting with children and families in the 32805 zip code through strong community partnerships and targeted supports. These efforts are made possible through collaboration with organizations featured below.

K‑Ready WORKS partners with the REED Charitable Foundation (RCF) to strengthen literacy instruction in early learning settings through educator training, coaching, and classroom support. Using an evidence-based Orton-Gillingham approach, this partnership equips teachers with strategies to support diverse learners, including children with dyslexia. By building educator confidence and providing structured literacy tools, this collaboration helps improve early reading outcomes during critical developmental years.

The REED Charitable Foundation is committed to expanding access to effective literacy instruction for all children, including those with dyslexia. By equipping educators and supporting students, RCF helps build strong foundations in reading and confidence that support lifelong learning and success.

K‑Ready WORKS partners with the YMCA of Central Florida’s Y on the Fly program to expand access to physical activity, nutrition, and enrichment opportunities for children and families. Through this partnership, K‑Ready helps bring structured, engaging programming directly into neighborhoods and early learning communities, supporting children’s physical health and overall well-being.

Y on the Fly is a mobile outreach initiative that delivers free, high-quality out-of-school experiences during times when access may be limited, particularly during the summer months. The program brings fitness activities, healthy snacks, and trusted YMCA staff to community spaces including parks, apartment communities, and early learning centers.

By coming directly into early learning centers, Y on the Fly brings fun, active programming that encourages movement, promotes healthy habits, and supports children’s physical development.

K‑Ready WORKS partners with West Lakes Partnership to address food insecurity and support families with reliable access to nutritious meals. Through this collaboration, K‑Ready has supported food distributions that include both hot meals and grocery items, ensuring families have access to essential resources, particularly during high-need times such as the holiday season.

Food deliveries are coordinated through local early learning centers within the 32805 community, making it easier for families to access support in trusted and familiar locations.

West Lakes Partnership is a community development organization focused on preserving and strengthening neighborhoods surrounding Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Since 2016, the organization has worked to create safe, healthy, and thriving communities across West Lakes neighborhoods by supporting housing stability, community well-being, and economic opportunity.

K‑Ready WORKS partners with Lift Orlando’s Early Learning Collaborative to strengthen early learning environments and expand access to high-quality educational supports for children and families in the 32805 community. Through this partnership, we work alongside early learning centers to support educator development, enhance classroom instruction, and align resources that promote school readiness.

Lift Orlando brings together community organizations, educators, and families to create coordinated, place-based solutions that improve outcomes for children. Their Early Learning Collaborative focuses on supporting early childhood providers, increasing access to quality care, and strengthening systems that support families and young learners.

Together, this partnership helps ensure that children have access to consistent, high-quality early learning experiences that support long-term success.
