Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC) of Michigan's Ottawa (County) Great Start Collaborative, on 5.18.07, hosted a national expert on economic development. "Early childhood development is economic development because it improves the quality of the future workforce and creates tremendous cost savings for society. The costs of not investing in early childhood education are just too great to ignore", said Rob Grunewald, Associate Economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis." He continued: "...research on educational performance finds that the best way to invest in human capital is to start well before children reach kindergarten...investment in early childhood development programs brings a real (that is, inflation adjusted) public return of 12 percent and a real total return, public and private, of 16 percent."
