Please take pride in yourself for taking the right steps toward a young child’s Great Start for success. Within this site you will find resource articles, tools and links to various other websites that can help you unravel some of the unknowns of parenting. We’ll connect you to resources from early learning milestones, to how to connect with the doctor or counselor, to parent groups. Take a few minutes to browse the site and you’ll see that Great Start is all about our youngest residents and how we can supply what they need to grow and prosper.
Are you an employer of a small or large business?
We need the village to raise a child, and we need those children to grow into young adults ready and available to work. So, we are thrilled you have landed on our web page to learn more. Within this site you will find resource articles, tool kits and links to other websites and resource tools to enable your company to support your employees who are parents, grandparents and caretakers of our young children. We have programs that can be presented at your facility to engage your employees and help foster the Great Start village in your business. Please take a few minutes to browse the site and then drop us an e-mail or call us and we would be happy to come meet with you or set up a presentation to augment your health and wellness program.
What is Great Start? Great Start was founded by the State of Michigan to wrap our arms around the resources available to children and their parents/ caretakers. Resources are available; we will help you uncover the path to get to them in our community. Great Start works collaboratively with parents, schools, and numerous state and private agencies to help connect the dots and ensure that every child receives a Great Start in life. So, please if you have any questions, call us and we’ll be happy to help you in any way we can.
