Early learning with your whole child in mind.
Ready Set Prep is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit early learning center in Windsor Mill, Maryland. We help children build the confidence, curiosity, creativity, and social skills that prepare them for school and life.
Our educators combine caring relationships, intentional teaching, hands-on play, and purposeful technology. Children explore literacy, math, problem-solving, and creative expression in an inclusive environment that respects their individual development.
Families are our partners. Open communication and a shared commitment to each child’s growth connect what happens in the classroom with the people who know them best. Explore our programs to find your child’s next step.
What Sets Ready Set Prep Apart
Quality you can see. RSP earned a Maryland EXCELS Level 3 rating within its first year of operation, reflecting our commitment to continuous improvement in early childhood education.
Imagination with purpose. Digital Literacy, STEM, coding concepts, and our AI & Me programming invite children to tell stories, create characters, and solve problems through Beyond-the-Screen Learning™. Play, creativity, and human connection guide the experience.
Opportunity that grows with our community. Our college internship program connects emerging professionals with experience in technology, education, business, and early childhood operations. Meet our partners or explore RSP events to see how our community brings learning to life.
