Why It Matters
It is a simple equation for a long-term workforce and economic solution; early childhood investment equals a stronger, better-educated workforce, and a socially and economically vibrant community.
Working to improve coordination, delivery, and access to services for young children in Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties so that children are……
- Born healthy
- Developmentally ready to succeed in school at time of school entry
- Healthy, thriving, and developmentally on track from birth – third grade
- Prepared to succeed in fourth grade and beyond, by reading proficiently by the end of third grade
