Attend Pre-School at Little or No Cost! Sound too Good to be True? THINK AGAIN! There’s no greater gift we can give our children than the gift of learning. The Great Start Collaborative of Calhoun County is offering two opportunities for families to get their preschoolers on the road to success in school and in life, at little or no cost. Who Are We? The Calhoun Great Start Collaborative is a coordinated group of business, educators, philanthropic and faith based organizations, community members, parents and family members, all sharing the philosophy that, working together as a whole community, we can ensure that every child in Calhoun County has a GREAT START in life. What Do We Know About Your Child? We know that during the first 2,000 days of life, between birth and the first day of Kindergarten, 90% of a child’s brain is developed! Brain research has shown that the nutrition, medical care, nurturing and quality learning experiences a child receives during this critical period of life literally shapes the way their brain will function throughout life. How Can We Help You Help Your Child? Through the efforts of the Great Start’s PARENT COALITION, EARLY CHILDHOOD CONNECTIONS, GREAT START READY TEAMS, and our many COMMUNITY PARTNERS, your family may be able to take advantage of one of two learning opportunities that will better prepare your young child to enter Kindergarten eager, confident and having the skills needed to meet the challenges of school, AT LITTLE OR NO COST TO YOU. 1. SCHOLARSHIPS FOR THREE-YEAROLDS AVAILABLE NOW! The Calhoun Great Start Collaborative Scholarship Committee is seeking applicants for 3-year-old child care and preschool programs for the coming school year. Calhoun County families with children who will be three years old by October 1, 2013 are eligible to apply for these year- long scholarships to high quality, approved child care and pre-school programs. The scholarship runs from September, 2013 through August, 2014. In order to apply for a scholarship a family must meet an income requirement along with additional risk factors. This helps ensure that scholarships will be given to families who otherwise might be unable to provide quality child care or pre-school opportunities for their young children Over the past two years we have awarded scholarships to 70 families and are able to continue offering scholarships for this year thanks to the funding support of Michigan’s Early Childhood Investment Corporation, and local funders including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Binda Foundation, United Way of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Region, and the generosity of private donors. Centers receiving scholarship students are given support from Early Childhood Connections staff through administering Program Quality Assessments, professional development, ongoing staff coaching, and grant opportunities for materials to ensure a high quality of care in a positive learning environment. The goal is to help child care and pre-

school providers build and maintain high quality learning programs for those children most in need. While current state funding required an application deadline of July 26, funding from local sources will enable additional applications to be accepted throughout the year. To serve as many families as possible with these scholarships we urge local businesses and community organizations to add to our funding by considering making donations to this scholarship program. You may contact the Great Start office for information on donation opportunities. In order to apply for this scholarship parents must fill out the Three-Year-Old Scholarship Application AND the Birth-to-Five Services Application, both of which may be found on the Great Start website at www.calhoungreatstart.org, or you may request the applications by calling the Great Start Collaborative office at 269-660-1606 – ext. 6143 2. GREAT NEWS FOR CALHOUN COUNTY FOUR-YEAR-OLDS AND THEIR FAMILIES The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP), a pre-school division of the Michigan Department of Education and a work group within the Great Start Collaborative of Calhoun County, has been providing quality pre-school programs for four-year-olds at risk for a lack of school success for the past 20 years. For the 2012-13 school year just ended Calhoun County GSRP was allocated 642 student slots. For the 2013-14 school year those allocated slots have been increased to 1194, nearly doubling the opportunities for Calhoun County four-year-olds to participate in high quality pre-school programming as they get ready for their first school experience as Kindergartners. That increase translates into a $4,328,250 state allocation for GSRP in Calhoun County for the 20123-14 school year. Overall, Michigan received a $65 million expansion of GSRP funds for 2013-14, a 60% increase over current funding and the largest increase in the nation this year. The need for this expanded GSRP continues to grow in Calhoun County. We currently rank 16th in the State of Michigan in poverty with nearly 55% of Kindergarten through fifth grade students eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch. The overarching goal of Calhoun County’s GSRP is that the increase in numbers of four-year-olds served, combined with an increasingly high quality learning experience, will turn these young children” at risk of failure” into young children “at hope of success” in school and life. To help with this newly acquired GSRP expansion school districts currently providing GSRP services will be joined by eight additional private and/or non-profit partner agencies that will offer GSRP programming. These countywide “outside agencies” will receive a share of up to 358 student slots designated for them. The application, described below, contains the names of those agencies and parents may designate the agency of their choice on the application.

Don’t wait another day to take advantage of these two outstanding learning opportunities for your young children. Applications for both the Three-Year-Old Scholarship Program and the Great Start Readiness Program for four-year olds are now available on the Great Start website at

www.calhoungreatstart.org or by calling the Great Start office at

269-660-1606

Apply now and help us help your child get a GREAT START to a quality education.

The research is clear. Young children in GSRP classrooms are much more likely to finish their K-12 education on time, pursue higher education, become more employable and secure better jobs, at a higher rate than their counterparts not participating in GSRP. The two elements of the GSRP classroom curriculum that contribute most to student success are the HighScope curriculum and the Raising a Reader program. HighScope is a curriculum framework that centers on the child’s active participation and discovery and addresses all areas of development: social and emotional; physical development and health; language, literacy and communication; and math, science and technology. Raising a Reader puts take-home books and related activities in the children’s hands on a weekly basis throughout the school year, with the emphasis on child-parent interaction. These elements have proven to be the most critical ingredients in the success of GSRP. For parents of current and soon-to-be fourolds two important questions need to be asked and answered: Would my child benefit from participating in GSRP? With all of the evidence collected concerning the program’s success, the answer must certainly be a resounding YES for everyone. Does my child qualify for GSRP? With eligibility for participation in GSRP based on a number of factors, economic/income level being at the top of the list, you will need to fill out a Birth to Five Services Application. This application may be found at the Great Start Collaborative website – calhoungreatstart.org or the application may be obtained by calling the Great Start Collaborative office at 269-660-1606 – ext. 6141 In more than 600 community conversations about education reform held around the state, residents listed expanded, high quality pre-K as one of their highest priorities. The expansion of GSRP for the coming year shows that Michigan’s residents have been listened to, and the four-year-old children of Michigan and Calhoun County are the beneficiaries of that listening. Success in the early years is a strong indicator of success later in life. GSRP puts our four-year-olds firmly on the road to success and that bodes well for all of us. The charts below provide the income guidelines for both the Three-Year-Old Scholarship Program and the Great Start Readiness Program. These charts will help you determine if your family qualifies for either program.
