Families, who reside in Clare County, and who have children under the age of four, can be enrolled
in the Success by Three Program upon meeting eligibility requirements and contacting the program
coordinator. Oftentimes families are referred to the program through the efforts of county agencies
and organizations when there is potential for a child/children to be at risk within the home environment.
Through an interview / assessment process, offered to parents by Success by Three Program personnel, a
determination is made as to whether the family meets the program eligibility requirements and if the
family will be appropriately assisted by enrolling in the program. Once enrolled in the Success by
Three Program, the family receives bi-weekly visits by a Health Educator and/or Public Health Nurse.
Home visits are based on goals and objectives identified by the parents, and with the assistance of
program personnel, an "Individualized Family Service Plan [IFSP]" is created. Each child is also
assessed utilizing the "Infant Toddler Developmental Assessment [IDA]", allowing potential developmental
delays to be identified and addressed through early intervention. The staff utilizes the "Parents as
Teachers" curriculum as a means to support and preserve the family unit. Please call (989) 539-6731, ext. 8221
for additional program and/or referral information.
