Recently the Great Start to Quality Central Resource Center team from Midland County ESA hosted Donna Wade, Senior Director of Programs at the Early Childhood Investment Corporation. The purpose was twofold, the CRC team spent time in conversations with Donna about what is working well and what areas could be improved upon in Great Start to Quality. Thank you, Donna, for taking the time to listen and ask questions with the CRC team.
The second was visiting a couple of great programs in Midland County. Donna and a few of the team members had the pleasure of visiting home provider, Heather Pohl, owner-operator of HoneyBee’s Daycare. Heather shared her passion for caring for young children and their families. Thank you, Heather, for your warm hospitality!
The CRC team enjoyed visiting the childcare and preschool classrooms at Longview Early Childhood Center, with time to explore the playground as well. A big thank you to the Longview staff for the incredible work you do to support children and families! Your dedication to providing high-quality care is evident, especially in your recent recognition as Demonstrating Quality from Great Start to Quality.

Throughout the remodel of the MCESA Sugnet School, we have received a number of questions regarding the hallway mosaic and whether it would remain intact within the building. A proud staple of the Sugnet School since 1976, the mosaic was crafted by Sugnet students at that time. We are excited to share that this feature has been carefully incorporated into the remodel of the building and is a prominent feature of our post secondary wing! Included are photos of the mosaic from the post secondary renovation as well as the plaque that was saved by the construction team from Three Rivers that explains its history–truly highlighting the past and present here at Sugnet! #flashbackfriday #midlandmihistory #renovation #mcesabettertogether

This beautiful quilt was created by MCESA team member Rick Steinbacher and his wife, using old MCESA tshirts contributed by our teachers over the years. Each square represents a moment in time, a tradition, and the dedication of those who make our organization so special. 🫶#mcesabettertogether

The kiddos at Longview Early Childhood Center Childcare and GSRP Program read so many books this summer ☀️ that they earned a free book from the library! We are so lucky to be a part of such a great community!! Mrs. Karen shared that the library will be closed for 2 months (Sep-Nov) but you can still borrow books and they are still hosting different events so be sure to keep an eye out! 📚
