Welcome
Governor Granholm with childrenWelcome to Michigan's Project Great Start
Children learn more from birth to age three than any other time in life. During this time, what we do matters and will determine the way they learn, think and behave forever. To ensure all children in Michigan have the opportunity for a Great Start and a Great Life, I have launched a statewide effort to coordinate both public and private efforts to achieve common objectives and measurable results for Michigan's youngest children. Project Great Start (PGS) encompasses both immediate action and creating a blueprint, or strategic plan, for Michigan's early childhood system of programs, services, and supports for all children from birth to age five.
