The Michigan School Readiness Program (MSRP) is a state-funded prekindergarten program in Saginaw for 4-year-olds from the inner city with the goal of providing an environment that develops school readiness skills. The seven program components are: cognitive, psychomotor, affective, parent participation/education, curriculum, staff development, and community collaboration/participation. An annual evaluation was conducted for the 1997-98 school year. A total of 300 students attended the program at 1 of 10 sites. The Prekindergarten Saginaw Objective Reference Test assessed student achievement on a posttest-only basis. The Affective Rating Scale was used on a pre-post basis. Findings indicate that MSRP students attained all the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective objectives. All objectives related to parent participation through classroom participation, parent meetings, and completion of home activities with the children were met successfully. The Early Childhood Education Curriculum Committee met four times and discussed benchmarks in language arts, social studies, science, and mathematics. The program supervisor participated on county level committees. All staff attended at least 75 percent of the inservice sessions offered. It was concluded that the MSRP program in its ninth year of operation was very successful, having achieved all 26 objectives. It was recommended that building results be examined and that inservice education be expanded in the area of language enhancement.
