💙 A Message from Great Start Parent Coalition 💙

Due to State budget changes, the Great Start Parent Coalition has been eliminated. While this chapter is coming to a close, we will continue to host some of the events our families know and love. Updates and future event information can be found on Family Information Service Hubs - FISH. Newaygo County or Newaygo County RESA

We have been incredibly blessed to serve this community for nearly 20 years. Over that time, we’ve met so many amazing families, shared countless memories, and built relationships that truly mean the world to us. While things will look a little different moving forward, we look forward to continuing those connections in new ways.

📸 Please note: This page is scheduled to shut down on February 1st. Over the next few weeks, we encourage you to save or download any photos of your family that you may want to keep.

Watching your families grow over the years, and having my own family grow up alongside yours, has been an absolute gift. Thank you for being part of this journey and for allowing us to be part of your lives. 💙-Christina
