What is GSRP?
The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan’s free PreK program for eligible four-year-olds. Ranked #1 in the U.S., it’s a safe place where children learn how to get along with others, share, take turns, and make friends. Math, reading, and thinking skills are taught every day through fun, hands-on activities. GSRP will help make sure your child is ready for kindergarten and beyond
We offer the GSRP Program at both the Elizabeth Lake location as well as the Airport road Location.

How do I enroll?
- Fill out the application, bring the required eligibility documents.
- Families that apply in the spring typically hear by May/June. Those that apply in the summer often hear within a few weeks. Free preschool programs prioritize the enrollment of children from households with lower incomes. Therefore, children from families with higher household income may be enrolled later or placed on a waiting list, depending on available space in classrooms. Enrollment for children turning 4 between September 2 and December 1, 2024 may also be delayed.
