Yale Public School District is proud to offer our community a high-quality 4-year old preschool program for eligible children. The Great Start Readiness Program is funded through a Michigan Department of Education grant. Parents are required to complete a detailed registration process. If eligibility is determined your child will be enrolled in the program. Children are welcomed into inviting classrooms by highly-qualified, certified teachers committed to fostering a love for learning and a base for future successful learning experiences.
Students will learn and explore through hands-on activities in an atmosphere where independence is encouraged to build each child’s self-confidence. The goal of the program is to encourage the development of children and prepare them for successful entry into Kindergarten using developmentally appropriate practices in a play-based curriculum. Enrollment is limited to the children determined to be in most need. Low/extremely low family income is a primary factor in determining eligibility. For the Fall 2026-2027 year, children must be 4 years of age on or before September 1, 2026.
An application for the program can be completed here.
