Great Start Collaborative
The Great Start Collaborative brings together parents/caregivers and professionals in healthcare, early education, childcare, and social services to achieve four primary outcomes:
- Children are born healthy
- Children are healthy, thriving, and developmentally on track from birth to third grade.
- Children are developmentally ready to succeed in school at time of school entry.
- Children are prepared to succeed in fourth grade and beyond by reading proficiently by the end of third grade.
