Early childhood education is one of the best investments in a child’s future. Research shows that high-quality early learning experiences have a significant impact on long-term success. The Strong Start GO! Mobile Pre-K program provides half-day early education services, family engagement workshops and activities, and community advocacy given the importance of early learning and kindergarten readiness.

The Strong Start GO! Mobile Pre-K program is an innovative program that brings early learning into neighborhoods where it is needed most. Currently, there are four Mobile Pre-K buses that provide early childhood education in underserved neighborhoods.

Partnership Opportunities

Partnership opportunities exist at a variety of levels, including funding for additional Mobile Pre-K Buses. Additional partnership opportunities are also needed to support field trips, portable outdoor equipment, learning tools and resources to equip the buses, and STEM materials for families to engage in hands-on learning.
