Members of the Great Start Collaborative are community representatives who work together to assure that all Saginaw County children enter kindergarten safe, healthy, and ready to succeed in school and in life. We are parents, professionals, community agencies, businesses, and faith-based partners.
We welcome the whole community to be engaged. Research shows that education begins at birth and investing in children leads to economic growth and community development.
