GREAT START READINESS PROGRAM (GSRP)


PARENTS - IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED OUR PRE-QUALIFICATION ONLINE SURVEY, THANK YOU FOR DOING SO!  WE WILL NOT REACH OUT TO FAMILIES REGARDING NEXT STEPS BEFORE JUNE 1ST. 

CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR MORE INFORMATION FROM US AFTER THAT DATE.  THANK YOU!


Chippewa Valley Schools hosts four GSRP Preschool Programs each school year and will do so for the 2025-2026 school year.

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.

The first step to our enrollment process for the Chippewa Valley Schools GSRP Preschool program is to complete our Online Pre-Qualification Survey.  You only need to do this one time, and we ask that you do so on a computer or tablet for accuracy.  Remember, the information you provide is our only link to you and determines whether we can move forward with your family for registration.  Click on the link below to go to the survey:
