Great Start Collaborative

1980 - 2025

For decades, the Huron County Great Start Collaborative brought together community leaders, business owners, health and human service agencies, charitable and faith-based organizations, educators, and parents to build and sustain a comprehensive early childhood system. The county-wide network of support and services was dedicated to improving outcomes for young children and their families.

Early Childhood Hub

2026 - present

Unfortunately, the funding for Great Start Collaboratives was eliminated from Michigan’s 2026 budget. Though funding is no longer available, this Early Childhood Hub will still serve Huron County as a go-to resource for all things early childhood.
