Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Dr. Beverly Walker-Griffea, director of the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), are urging families to enroll their four-year-olds in free, high-quality pre-K programs available through local school districts.
A historic investment in the state’s Pre-K for All initiative, part of Michigan’s new budget, will provide nearly 59,000 children across the state with access to free pre-K.
As of Aug. 15, enrollment has expanded to all families regardless of income level, with priority given to those who need it most. “This is a huge win for Michigan families,” said Governor Whitmer. “It saves parents thousands of dollars on child care costs while giving kids the educational foundation they need.”
