Universal Pre-K

IMG's Early Education Matters is a series of stories about the implementation of Pre-K for All throughout Michigan. This series is made possible with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. By partnering with the Kellogg foundation on this project, we are striving to increase awareness and engagement between stakeholders, residents and policymakers regarding the challenges and impacts of implementing Universal Pre-K policies in Michigan as well as highlighting the existing and emerging solutions to these challenges, especially at the local level.

Our health coverage includes our State of Health series about how Michigan communities are rising to address health challenges and MI Mental Health series, which highlights the opportunities that Michigan's children, teens and adults of all ages have to find the mental health help they need, when and where they need it.
