Welcome to Michigan's Great Start System!

Governor Jennifer Granholm launched Project Great Start in her 2004 State of the State address. The governor described this new initiative as a movement that challenges us all to recognize that education begins at birth, not when a child enters school. The next key step in the development of Michigan’s early childhood system was the establishment of the Michigan Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) in February 2005. The ECIC will allow the state to more effectively focus early childhood efforts and leverage public and private dollars to expand the availability of high-quality early education and child care, including parenting education.

This website offers you information on Michigan's Great Start System and the Michigan Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC). Check out the Background Information page and the “What’s Happening” to participate in the development of Michigan’s Great Start System.
