GREAT START READINESS PROGRAM (GSRP)


Chippewa Valley Schools hosts four GSRP Preschool Programs each school year and will do so for the 2025-2026 school year. At this time, we are not accepting registrations or taking names.  

In late April, there will be a link in the Spotlights section on the Homepage of this website.  The Spotlight will have the Great Start Readiness title - click on that Spotlight, and it will take you to a Pre-Qualification Survey. This will be the first opportunity to let us know that you are interested in our program for the fall. 

Some things to consider about our program: 

  • Your child must turn 4 years of age by September 1, 2025, to participate.  
  • First and foremost, this program is based on financial need per the State of Michigan.  All will be considered, but we are obligated to serve those most in need first and foremost.
  • Our program will meet 4 full days a week - Monday through Thursday with no classes on Fridays.
  • We do not offer before/after school childcare.  
  • Our programs do not offer transportation - parents must provide or arrange for transportation to and from classes.
  • Locations are not finalized for the fall and parents are not able to 'select' their location.  Classes are built using the guidelines established by the State of Michigan.

If you wish to pursue a 5-day program or one that offers before/after school childcare, you may contact the GSRP Macomb County Main Office at 586-228-3468. They can assist you in finding another GSRP Preschool Program in the county that will work best for your family needs.  

If you have specific questions regarding the Chippewa Valley Schools GSRP Programs, please call 586-723-2275 or email us at GSRP@cvs.k12.mi.us

The Little Turtle Early Childhood Center is a parent pay/tuition-based program.  Registration for the fall is held during the month of March - space is limited and the program fills up quickly.
