New for 2025-2026:
Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP)
At Everbloom Montessori, we believe every child deserves access to a nurturing, high-quality early learning experience. That’s why we’re proud to offer the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP)—Michigan’s state-funded preschool for eligible 4-year-olds. By combining public investment with our Montessori-informed, equity-centered approach, we’re creating more opportunities for children and families to thrive.
Quick Facts: GSRP at Everbloom Montessori
-
The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan’s state-funded preschool program for eligible 4-year-olds. It’s designed to increase access to high-quality early education for families across the state.
-
Children are eligible for GSRP if they are turning 4 years old on or before December 1, 2025, and will not turn 5 on or before September 1, 2025.
-
GSRP is a free, state-funded program for all families regardless of income.
Please note application fees for Everbloom are waived for GSRP-qualified students.
-
Partnering with GSRP helps us expand access to Everbloom’s equity-centered, Montessori-based learning environment—ensuring more children can thrive during these critical early years.
-
It won’t! Montessori is a recognized curriculum through Kent ISD, and our program continues to follow Montessori principles and practices. GSRP funding supports access—not changes to how we teach. Your child will still experience the same nurturing, child-led, and hands-on learning environment that defines Everbloom.

Apply through Kent ISD's GSRP Application Portal. Be sure to list Everbloom Montessori as your top choice.

We’re moving!
A move to 1575 Jefferson Ave for Fall 2025 represents an incredible opportunity to create a thoughtfully designed early childhood education center that will bring all of our programming under one roof, and grow our capacity by more than 50%, creating opportunities for more families to find the high-quality, early childhood education they deserve.
The new campus is just 3.5 miles (less than 10 minutes) from our current facilities, 1 mile from the Hall Street ramp to US-131, and under 2.5 miles from downtown Grand Rapids. It is also one block from The Rapid’s Silver Line stop at Cottage Grove and features dedicated bike lanes running north and south along Jefferson, providing a safer commute for those who prefer to cycle.
