Ready, Set, Go!

MFS_RSG_LOGO+brown

Ready, Set, Go! (RSG!) is a free bilingual and culturally-responsive early learning program.

A good start can make all the difference for a child about to enter school. That’s why we bring parents and their preschoolers together to learn side-by-side. Kids gain confidence and become independent, and their parents or caregivers learn how to support their future success in the classroom. Every day, we see light bulbs go on as new skills and ideas emerge.
