Early Childhood Education is the cornerstone of our State. Scientific research states that by investing in our children at birth, the State of Michigan will benefit from the long term effects of quality education from career to college.
"Michigan remains on the forefront of using the research to support the implementation of high quality early care and educational programs for very young children. Parents are recognized as their children's first and most important teachers. Parent programs provide support and education for families who choose to participate. Research is also telling us that program quality plays a significant role in outcomes for children." - Office of Early Childhood & Family Services, Michigan Department of Education
"Beginning in the earliest years, communities must provide opportunities so all our children come to school ready to learn." - Superintendent of Public Instruction, Michael P. Flanagan
