Many of us know that

Michigan is currently in deep

financial crisis and many programs

and services are on the verge of

being cut. The responsibility of

restoring Michigan will fall to a

new Governor and a new crop

of legislators. We need to educate these new legislators

about the positive economic impact of investing in early

childhood programs in an effort to rebuild our state.

The Early Childhood Investment Corporation, its 55 Great

Start Collaboratives, over 70 Parent Coalitions, Regional

Resource Centers and Michigan’s early childhood

advocate partners, proudly announce the formation

of the “Sandbox Party.”

important for the future of Michigan’s economy.
