Great Start Collaborative

The Ionia County Great Start Collaborative is a partnership of community leaders, business owners, charitable and faith‐based organizations, health and human service agencies, educators, child care providers, and parents. We firmly believe the first few years of life are the most important in determining a child's physical and emotional health for the rest of their lives. We are committed to establishing and maintaining a comprehensive early childhood system. It is our goal to make sure every young child in our community has a great start.

Many valuable resources are available for families with young children: http://www.greatstartioniacounty.org
