GSRP Preschool

The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan’s state-funded preschool program for four-year-old children. Research on preschool programs and specific research on GSRP indicates that children provided with a high-quality preschool experience show significant positive developmental differences when compared to children from the same backgrounds who did not attend a high-quality preschool program.  Please contact Mandi Barber at (231) 788-7304 for more information.
