UPDATE: Gubernatorial Candidates Virg Bernero (D) and Rick Snyder have confirmed their attendance at, and participation in the Sandbox Party Convention. Attending with family, both will discuss their vision for the future of Michigan. 

Many of us know that Michigan is currently in deep financial crisis and many programs and services are on the verge of being cut. The responsibility of restoring Michigan will fall to a new Governor and a new crop of legislators. We need to educate these new legislators about the positive economic impact of investing in early childhood programs in an effort to rebuild our state.

The Early Childhood Investment Corporation, its 55 Great Start Collaboratives, over 70 Parent Coalitions, Regional Resource Centers and Michigan’s early childhood advocate partners, proudly announce the formation of The Sandbox Party.
