Dear Child Care Professionals,
Have you heard about Great Start Connect? Great Start Connect is a system of online early learning resources that includes a new statewide child care database. It is a new initiative from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation as part of the Great Start Child Care Quality Project.
We are excited at the possibility that this new database offers you, the provider. Child Care Network previously called you every quarter to get an update for your program, but now, you can access your child care profile 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can update your openings, as they change as well other details about your program. You can even upload photos! All child care referrals are now being done through the Great Start Connect database as well. Parents can log on anytime and view your profile and search for care that meets their needs. Please feel free to share this information with parents and families.
You should have received (or will be receiving) a letter from the ECIC Great Start Child Care Quality Project with a password so you can begin the exciting process of updating your profile. You can visit their website at www.greatstartforkids.org (look for the GS Connect button!)
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us and we will be happy to assist you. Washtenaw, Hillsdale, Monroe & Jackson Counties: Call Candy 734-975-1840 or 800-777-2861 Ext. 29
Lenawee County: Call Brooke 517-264-5306
Have a wonderful day!
