Great Start 4 Kids

Great Start provides services, resources and leadership to Michigan families!

The mission of the Great Start Collaborative is to engage the entire community to assure a coordinated system of support, services and resources to assist Dickinson and Iron County families in achieving a ‘great start’ in school for all children ages birth to eight years old.

Great Start is in the forefront of Michigan's early childhood movement. The Great Start leaders adapt quickly to change and consistently make many small wins that result in improved information flows, high level system building and improved access to early childhood services.

Parents are empowered as leaders in the Great Start community partnerships. In Michigan, parents are shining stars who take on key leadership roles in helping to improve all local systems.
