The Kalamazoo County Great Start Collaborative (GSC) is a partnership of local organizations and parents who are working to improve our early childhood system for every family in the community.
We focus on the strengths of each family by building upon their Protective Factors:
- Parental Resilience: Show your inner strengths.
- Social Connections: Make a friend.
- Concrete Supports: Ask for help.
- Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development: Learn to be your child’s expert.
- Social and Emotional Competence of Children: Give your child tools and words to express how she feels.
