Collaborative Preschool Application
High quality early education experiences are critical to every young child's development.  Children who have high quality experiences are more successful later in life.  In Ionia & Montcalm County, the Joint Recruitment system was developed to ensure that federal and state guidelines are being followed regarding enrollment and recruitment of all age eligible preschoolers.  This also ensures that our system can service as many age eligible children as possible with free and/or low cost quality preschool.  

State of Michigan preschool funding is announced in July for (GSRP programming) and enrollment should begin by August 1st.    Unlike K-12 education, state preschool funding is not a guaranteed budget item and until funding has been awarded enrollment cannot take place.

You should receive an email that verifies that your application was submitted. Once received, a Joint Recruitment representative will process your application and forward it to the program that your child is eligible for.  You will receive communication regarding enrollment only after the funding (State and Federal) has been confirmed.    The most important step is completing and submitting the initial application found here!  We appreciate your patience with this process.
