Great Start to Quality

Great Start to Quality is an online resource portal that focuses on high-quality early learning experiences that build the foundation for skills children need to thrive in school and in life. To accomplish this, we offer support to strengthen Michigan’s providers of early care and education so they can continuously improve the services and support they provide young children, their families, and the community.

GSQ recognizes the quality of licensed programs for children ages 0-12 to help families find the best early care and learning options for their children. Families can use GSQ as a tool to search for and compare early childhood programs near them and find the right child care options for their children.

• Giving families information and resources to determine the best type of care for their children.
• Assisting families in their search for quality licensed programs.
• Providing information about financial assistance.
• Offering lending libraries of learning materials to use with their children.
