Join Us for the Sandbox Party Convention (August 26th)

Nonpartisan and nonpolitical, The Sandbox Party has a broad membership across the spectrum of early childhood issues, programs, resources and supports. The Sandbox Party is the unifying scaffold for all those who recognize the crucial role of young children in Michigan’s economic turnaround, and support continued state investment to make sure those children grow up healthy, capable and workforce-ready.

This is a job so large that success is only possible by working together at both the state and local levels -- to achieve the overarching goal of ensuring that every young child in Michigan starts kindergarten ready.
