The Foundation of Lifelong Learning
Early childhood is where the education journey begins. The experiences children have in their earliest years shape how they learn, develop, and enter kindergarten, establishing a foundation that carries forward through K-12, postsecondary education, and eventually the workforce. Michigan is committed to building the brightest future possible for each and every child. That means building an early childhood system that supports children and families across the full span of early learning – from early intervention and family supports to child care, literacy, PreK, and kindergarten readiness – so every child has the opportunity to thrive.
