What is the Great Start Collaborative?

The Great Start Collaborative ensures Sanilac County families have access to coordinated resources and support for children from birth through third grade. As part of Michigan’s statewide initiative, it works to help every child grow up safe, healthy, and ready to succeed in school and life.

Great Start has 4 goals:

Children are born healthy.
Children are healthy, thriving and developmentally on track from birth to 3rd grade.
Children are developmentally ready to succeed in school at the time of school entry.
Children are prepared to succeed in 4th grade by reading proficiently by the end of 3rd grade.

2025-2030
Strategic Plan

With lots of great conversations, hands-on workshops, and teamwork, we’ve pulled together ideas from all corners of our community to build a roadmap that celebrates what makes us strong—and tackles the challenges we face together.
