Exciting Launch: New Early Literacy Campaign With the Detroit Lions Foundation

We're pleased to announce our launch of a new statewide initiative that pairs Early On Michigan with the Detroit Lions Foundation to promote early literacy and language development for young children.  The campaign, funded in part through MiLEAP’s FY26 budget, will use social media to encourage parents of children ages birth to three to engage in simple, everyday literacy practices that build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. The Detroit Lions Foundation will help amplify these messages statewide, reaching families where they already are.

Please find the Press Release from MiLEAP announcing this important initiative.

You may have already seen some of the campaign videos shared on our social media channels.  We encourage you to join us in spreading the word by sharing these posts on your own platforms, or by reposting directly from our Facebook or Instagram pages.

To make sharing simple, all materials are available in one place:

  1. Approved social media copy
  2. Downloadable campaign videos (full-length and shorter clips)

This campaign was made possible through the generous support of Gud Marketing, Gardner White Furniture, and the Children’s Foundation, and reflects Early On Michigan's continued commitment to ensuring families have access to the resources and support they need from the very beginning.

Thank you for being a valued partner in sharing this important work!
