Starting them young is the aim of Bakersfield's Ready to Start program. On Monday, Aera energy and the Kern Community Foundation will give them a hundred-thousand dollar check at Independence Elementary. Greater Bakersfield Vision 20/20 launched Ready to Start nine years ago as a way of preparing tomorrow's skilled work force by getting four-year-olds ready for school. A summer program preps the toddlers in math, language arts and supportive skills.
