Great Start Family Coalition Meetings: Family Coalition members help educate, inform, and provide opportunities in our community so all children are nurtured, supported, and achieve their maximum potential. We do this through organizing community projects and events, talking and sharing stories with other parents/caregivers, and advocating for families with children from birth to age twelve.

This group is open to all adults raising children in Charlevoix, Emmet, and northern Antrim counties. Meetings are held from 11 a.m. - noon on the second Wednesday of each month (unless noted) from 11 a.m. - noon, via Zoom. Members can log on early from 10:45 to 11 a.m. for a “Chill & Chat” with other Family Coalition members before the meeting starts. REGISTER HERE

Learn more about the opportunities that the Great Start Collaborative offers.

One-On-One Visits: There are a few different options that support you as your child’s first and more important teacher with fun activities and age-appropriate ideas to give your child a great start!

Playgroup: Join us at the Central Lake First Congregational Church from 10:00am-11:30am most Thursdays. Playgroup is not affiliated with the church. They generously donate the use of the space.
