Oakland County has a wealth of basic resources
for children, ages 0 to 5, and their families.
The results of recent surveys reveal that many
families are not aware of many of the available
resources.
Oakland County’s Parenting Resources: A
Guide to Strengthening Families is an attempt
to increase awareness of our county’s resources. This guide provides
an outline of key trainings and resources in Oakland County where
you can find components of the Strengthening Families Framework.
This tool seeks to guide professionals and parents toward building
stronger families through the resources available in our county.
The publication and dissemination of this resource guide is made

The Early Childhood Investment Corporation was created in August 2005 to
ensure that every young child in Michigan has a Great Start and arrives at the
kindergarten door healthy and ready to succeed in school, with parents who are
committed to educational achievement. Accomplishing this important goal is not
the work of any one organization or individual, but will take the combined efforts
of parents, community leaders, business, the legislature, state and local government,
faith-based organizations, and philanthropy.
The Great Parents, Great Start
Program supports collaborative
community efforts to develop
parent involvement and education
programs. The programs must be
designed for families of children
from birth to age five. Four
components of the program are:
Oakland Schools serves 28 local school districts, 20 public school academies,
and nonpublic schools in Oakland County. Every district has a distinct character,
arising from its unique community of learners and educators. Yet every one of the
28 districts shares a common goal: providing a quality education to every student.
Oakland Schools works with these districts, nonpublic schools and public school
academies to help each one preserve its own unique identity, respect its special
needs, and deliver quality educational programs to every student in Oakland
County.
• Providing information on
development of children from
birth to age five.
• Sharing methods to enhance
parent/child interaction that
promote social and emotional
development of infants and
toddlers, and age-appropriate
language, mathematics, and early
reading skills.
• Promoting of access to needed
community services through
a community-school-home
partnership.
• Providing parents with examples
of learning opportunities to promote intellectual, physical, and social growth of
children, five years of age and younger.
The Great Start Collaborative-Oakland (GSC-O) is committed to ensuring
that all of Oakland County’s youngest citizens and their families have access to
services.
The purpose of the GSC-O is to assure a coordinated system of community
resources and support whereby all Oakland County families have knowledge of
and access to the services they need, which will result in their children beginning
Kindergarten ready and eager to learn.
GSC-O is a partnership of local stakeholders and parents building a comprehensive
early childhood system for our community, looking at all the factors that influence
a child’s readiness for school and life, including: early care and education, physical
and mental health, family support and parent education.
