There is still time and capacity for families to enroll their 4-year-olds in the no-cost PreK for All this school year.
That was the message during a Tuesday press call by the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement and Potential (MiLEAP) and local school leaders from across the state.

to find programs near them.
“We know learning starts well before kindergarten, and families should know that there’s still time to enroll 4-year-olds in free, high-quality pre-K programs across the state,” said Beverly Walker-Griffea, director of MiLEAP.
Walker-Griffea noted that more than 45,000 students were already enrolled in the Great Start Readiness program, which is the state’s primary pre-K program, representing an increase of nearly 10% over last year’s final enrollment number of 41,120 children.
“That is 4,000 more than last year and really a record for a decade of the numbers that have been signed up for this program, so we are quite proud that we have that amount currently enrolled in our pre-K program,” she said.
