Jefferson Ready Start Network is a coalition of individuals committed to creating and implementing a bold local vision for early childhood. We are driven by our community’s need to improve opportunities and inspire change for children birth to age 5 in our parish.

Jefferson Ready Start Network brings together partners to continuously improve the quality of and access to early childhood opportunities in our community. We are driven by local data and context to develop intentional plans, secure and weave together resources and implement creative solutions.

The Jefferson Parish School District is the lead agency for Jefferson Ready Start Network. JRSN’s work is directed by a coalition of Thought Partners (community leaders from multiple sectors) and supported by a Core Leadership Team (early childhood stakeholders).
