Barry County Great Start Collaborative

Barry County Great Start Collaborative Our goal is that all children in Barry County have a GREAT START in life!

Through our programs, we ensure the following four Michigan Office of Great Start outcomes:
- children are born heatlhy
- children are healthy, thriving, and developmentally on track, from birth to age eight
- 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 the third

grade. (These materials were developed under a grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education).
