Over the past several years, the Early Childhood Investment Corporation and its Great Start partners have led the continuing transformation of Michigan's early learning and care system to focus on ensuring school readiness and long-term success for all our youngest citizens.

To further that effort, ECIC is hosting a series of "convenings" to share its work and that of the Great Start initiative. Information from those convenings is presented below.
