Our Values:
The purpose of the Hillsdale County Great Start is to assure a coordinated system of community resources to assist all Hillsdale County families in providing a great start for their children prenatal through third grade.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”  ― Helen Keller
To ensure every child in Hillsdale County is safe, healthy, and ready to succeed in school and in life. 
We will accomplish our Mission and Vision through a set of fundamental values. We believe:

  • In motivating parents and caregivers to become fully engaged in the healthy raising of their children;
  • All children and their families should have adequate social, emotional, and physical health;
  • All children and their families should have access to quality education and a safe environment;
  • Collaboration is the best way to accomplish our goals; and
  • Our return on investment is the bright future for our children.
