Early Childhood

Eaton RESA offers a variety of programs to support our youngest learners and their families, from birth through age eight.

Build Up Michigan supports children ages 3–5 who may not be meeting important developmental milestones. If you're concerned about a child's development, completing a referral form is the first step. All services are free and coordinated through the local school district—even if the child is not yet enrolled in school.

Early On® connects families with early intervention supports and services for infants and toddlers, from birth to age three. Early On is family focused, emphasizing family strengths and abilities and addresses each child’s developmental delays within home-based and/or play group settings. 

The Eaton Great Start Collaborative is a network of early childhood education and care partners who are working together to support parents and caregivers in providing quality, developmental learning opportunities and programs for young children, birth to age eight, across the Eaton RESA service area. The collaborative promotes the importance of early childhood education through various activities and strives to have all children developmentally ready to succeed in school.

The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) provides high quality preschool education to income and need eligible four-year-old children and is focused on school readiness.
