In a recent video shared by Ingham ISD, parent Abi Worthington describes the GSRP experience as a "game-changer" for her family. The state-funded preschool program, available to eligible 4-year-olds across Ingham County, gave her son the opportunity to learn, play, and build foundational skills in a nurturing environment.
Abi notes that the combination of structured learning and child-led exploration helped her son grow more confident, curious, and prepared for the next stage of his education. Through activities that foster language, motor, and social-emotional development, GSRP gives children the tools they need to succeed—while offering parents peace of mind.
Families can find out if they qualify for GSRP by visiting InghamPreschool.org or by calling (517) 244-1246.
