Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is a tuition-free preschool for 4-year-olds available through Michigan’s Great Start Readiness Program, which is ranked number 1 nationally for quality.
What makes GSRP so high-quality?
- Research-based curriculum focused on early literacy, math, social-emotional learning and problem-solving skills
- Learning is play-based to encourage creativity and curiosity
- Teachers are highly qualified and certified
- Small class sizes ensure plenty of individual attention
Our Great Start Readiness Program classroom uses a project-based approach, Connect4Learning, in which children work toward a larger goal, such as playing a coral-reef scavenger hunt or converting their classroom into a museum throughout a curriculum unit. High-interest learning centers that support and extend children’s growing understandings in social-emotional skills, science, literacy, and mathematics are a fundamental part of daily lessons. Each lesson can be tailored to fit the schedule and requirements of any classroom setting. Observation opportunities and individualized instruction strategies are also built into the curriculum.
Enrollment opens for the 2025-2026 school year on Monday, March 3. Placements begin on March 7 and will be made weekly on Wednesdays going forward.
Wrap around care is available before and after school, and on non-school days including breaks and holidays, at an additional cost. Please contact the admin team for more information or to enroll your child.
**GSRP will be closed when Northview School District is closed due to increment weather.**
