The Michigan Department of Education has awarded a Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) competitive grant of $81, 600 to the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC). The grant will pay tuition costs for 24 children to attend the ECEC four sessions per week for 35 weeks.
The GSRP state program prepares four-year-old children who are judged to have factors that place them at risk for achieving school success. The ECEC has been a GSRP grant recipient since 2004 and this award has allowed us to support the families and children who are in needs. The ECEC hopes to triple its service to these “at risk” children in our preschool program through the GSRP in the 2013-14 school year.
Congratulations to the faculty and staff of the ECEC who continue to provide the region with a high-quality early learning program that supports children’s growth and gets them off to a great start!
