Great Start Readiness

Welcome to the Madison Great Start Readiness Preschool Program

About the Great Start Readiness Preschool Program
Madison offers a Preschool program through the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP). This State-funded program is available to students who are four years old before September 1. The goal is to provide a high-quality preschool experience that will prepare a child socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically ready for Kindergarten.

Madison’s preschool is a full-day GSRP program taught by a certified teacher who is aided by two assistants. The adult to child ratio is 1:6 at all times. Transportation is provided for students who reside within the Madison School District.

Please note that children are not placed into the Preschool program on a “first come first serve basis,” but are prioritized by the family’s income and number of other risk factors.
