Preschool

Head start and the great start readiness program

Head Start

Head Start is a federally-funded preschool program.  Its success is based on compassionate partnerships between Head Start program staff and parents. In Michigan, local Head Start programs work with families to remove barriers to success and to deepen parents’ ability to support their children.

Visit the Michigan Head Start Association website.

Great Start Readiness Program

The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is a state-funded preschool program with aims that are similar to those of Head Start.  While fewer children qualify for Head Start than GSRP, Great Start Readiness Program also serves families whose circumstances indicate a need for free early childhood education.

Visit the Michigan Department of Education website about GSRP.
