About the School

The Shelby Early Childhood Center is located at 155 Sixth Street in Shelby, Michigan. We serve three and four-year-old children who qualify for the Head Start and/or Great Start Readiness Programs. Our programs encourage strong family involvement and parent education opportunities as well as research-based curriculum and best practices in preschool education. Meals, transportation, health, and advocacy resources are also available.

Head Start is a federally funded free preschool for 3 & 4-year-old children who qualify. Classes are held Monday through Thursday (and some Fridays) with All Day sessions.

GSRP is a state-funded free preschool for 4-year-old children who qualify. Classes are held Monday through Thursday with All Day sessions dependent on funding and availability.

 The ECC programs provide a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of your young children.
