ABOUT GREAT START READINESS

The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan's state-funded preschool Program for four-year-old children with factors which may place them at risk of educational failure.  The program is administered by the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Great Start. 

 

QUALITY EDUCATION

FOR YOUR 4-YEAR OLD

Children's First is proud to be a provider of this program in Detroit. Our children get a high-quality preschool experience and show significant positive developmental differences when compared to children from the same backgrounds who did not attend a high-quality preschool program.

​
