"Richer than I
you can never be,
I had a mother
who read to me."

--Strickland Gillian

Welcome

Miss Ruby's Kids is an early literacy program for Georgetown County, SC families. This year, 40 children aged two and three years old will receive a total of 1,840 home visits in 2009-2010 by trained paraprofessionals.

From a pilot program, working with 5 children in 2003, we have grown to an independent non-profit organization serving children in homes throughout the county. Mentors follow some of the 53 graduates at 3 elementary schools to insure their school success.

Mission

Miss Ruby's Kids program enables parents lacking in resources
to become their children's first, best teacher
by promoting literacy skills, and so increases
their children's chances of success in school and in life.
