All Michigan 4yr olds are now eligible for free PreK (also called GSRP), prioritizing those who need it most.

If you are curious whether your child will be prioritized, the first place to start is by finding a GSRP location and applying.

Priority factors include:

• Developmental Delay or Documented Disability of child or parent

• If a family’s primary language spoken is anything other than English

• If a child has a parent who has not graduated Highschool

• If a child has been a part of a report for child abuse or neglect

• If a parent is struggling with substance abuse

• If a child has lost a parent (this can include death, divorce, incarceration, military service, general absence)

• If a child has a parent under the age of 20 yrs at the child’s birth

• If a child is a resident in a high risk neighborhood (this includes an area of high poverty, high crime, or limited access to community resources)

• If a child has had prenatal or postnatal exposure to toxic substances

• If a child’s family is at or below 400% of the poverty level
