Celebrate Earth Day: Get Outside!

By Director

April 22, 2010 marks the 40th Celebration of Earth Day and our Great Start Collaborative believes combating obesity and getting children outdoors to appreciate fresh air, healthy living and activity and our wonderful environment is important. The No Child Left Inside® coalition and the Earth Day Network have teamed up and are working hard to spread the news that children need more outside time, less screen time and obesity is a problem. Click here for outdoor activities and visit Northern Moms for a listing of local events.

About

Funded with a grant from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation of the State of Michigan and the Kellogg Foundation, our project began in April of 2006. The goal of the project is to form multiple collaborative bodies in the state to begin development of a comprehensive system of early childhood care and education for 0-5 year olds and their families. This system is similar to the Smart Start system of North Carolina and the state of Michigan is receiving technical assistance in our efforts from the state of North Carolina.
