5toONE

Mission: To make this the best place in the world to raise a child—by ensuring that a strong system of resources is available to all families and the most vulnerable children receive the supports they need to succeed.

5toONE is an initiative established by the Great Start Collaborative of Traverse Bay to enhance early childhood development across a five-county region in Michigan. The program aims to create a comprehensive network of resources and support for families, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to thrive.

5toONE offers various programs to support early childhood development, including playgroups, parent advisory groups, and volunteer opportunities. These initiatives aim to connect families with resources, provide engaging activities for children, and strengthen community involvement in early childhood education.
