MOBILE, Ala. — Boys & Girls Clubs of South Alabama (BGCSA), in partnership with the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education, is bringing Born Ready University to families throughout the community.
Born Ready University is a free parenting education program designed to support expectant parents and parents or caregivers of children ages birth to five.

- Social-Emotional Development: Supporting children’s emotional well-being and building healthy relationships.
- School Readiness: Helping families prepare their children for a successful transition into school.
- Creating a Healthy & Safe Environment: Providing tools to support children’s health, safety, and overall well-being.
To encourage participation, each session will include free food, childcare, books, a $25 gift card for attendees, and additional incentives.
