Early Childhood Services

Early Childhood Services supports Ingham ISD’s Mission, Vision and Purpose by working collaboratively with key stakeholders to provide and coordinate quality services and supports to children prenatal through age eight and their families. These stakeholders are part of the Great Start Collaborative, which includes local service agencies, faith-based organizations, child care providers, school districts, families, businesses and others.

Early childhood education provides programs and services within Ingham County, through inter-agency collaboration, to promote school readiness of children birth through age eight. Programs and services support Michigan's Early Childhood Outcomes. Children are 1) Born healthy; 2) Healthy, thriving, and developmentally on track from birth to grade three; 3) Developmentally ready to succeed in school at the time of school entry; and 3) Prepared to succeed in grade four and beyond by reading proficiently by the end of grade three.
