Living in poverty is not something that children ask for. Wanting to be read to, feel safe, play games, laugh, smile and have a full belly and warm clothing – this is what children ask for. This video from The Ounce of Prevention Fund says it all. What are you doing locally to support 0-5 children and their families? Partner with the Great Start Collaborative and invest in our youngest citizens.
Northern Moms Event PageFunded 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.
