ECIC was formed in August of 2005 after Governor Granholm called for its creation during her State of the State Speech earlier in the year. The Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) was created to assure that every young child in Michigan has a Great Start and arrives at the kindergarten door healthy and ready to succeed in school, with parents who are committed to educational achievement.
