Early Childhood Resources

Pre- Register Here!

We look forward to sharing another year of stories, songs, playtime and community with you . We meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 9:30 am - 11:00 am at McMillan Early Childhood Center located at 2885 Hyde Park Rd, Muskegon MI 49445. Our program is free to you! We are funded by a grant from the Great Start Collaborative of Muskegon County. 

Like last year, we ask that you only attend one time each week. This will help us to balance the group sizes of our growing program. If your schedule changes here and there, we can too. Life is busy, we are flexible, and want to see you each week!

We will check you in at the office entrance between 9:25 am - 9:40 am. If you arrive after 9:40 am, you will need to "buzz" into the school office. We are just around the corner in the library. 

Emails are sent monthly to remind you of important information, schedules and events. If you have any questions, please email or call or Facebook message. We look forward to meeting you all! 

Join us for storytime, music, movement, crafts, and fine motor activities! 
All children 0-5 are welcome to this neurodiverse-friendly environment.

Join Read Muskegon for a festive hands-on cooking adventure where little chefs learn their ABCs through songs, stories, dancing, and delicious fun!

Designed for families with 3 to 5 year olds and their caregivers. This program is two classes (Mondays & Wednesdays) per week for three weeks. Every class is a different theme, recipe, and book.
