About Us 

What is Great Start? Michigan's Great Start Initiative is a state-wide program that works to make sure very child in Michigan is safe, healthy & eager to succeed in school and life.

Great Start has 4 goals:

1. Children are born healthy.
2. Children are healthy, thriving & developmentally on track from birth to 3rd grade.
3. Children are developmentally ready to succeed in school at the time of school entry.
4. Children are prepared to succeed in 4th grade by reading proficiently by the end of 3rd grade.

Each county in the state of Michigan has its own Great Start Collaborative and Parent Coalition. Huron County's Great Start is housed within the Huron County Intermediate School District. Our job is to work towards making Huron County a better place to raise a family - as partners with parents, agencies and change-makers.
