Child-Centered Education that Makes a Difference
Ready Set Learn is a private Preschool and Pre-K and located in the heart of Pittsfield. We are dedicated to providing an exceptional educational experience for your child. Our school offers a safe, nurturing environment that encourages children to explore their interests and develop new skills while having fun!
You won’t find another school like ours anywhere else in the area! With our low student-to-teacher ratio and one-on-one attention from
highly qualified teachers who love what they do, it's no wonder so many parents choose us as their first choice when looking for childcare or early childhood education for their kids
