📣 Exciting News! 📣 The Governor has officially proclaimed September as Smart Start Month! Join us in celebrating our efforts to ensure every child in North Carolina gets the best start in life.
Each child in North Carolina deserves to thrive. Research shows that the first five years of life are critical for brain development. To truly thrive, children must receive the support they need right from the start. That is why I am proud to work at the Carteret Partnership for Children, a member of the Smart Start Network.
Smart Start is a network of 75 nonprofit partnerships serving all 100 North Carolina counties that focuses on supporting children from 0-5 through evidence-based and informed solutions. Established in 1993, Smart Start is led by the North Carolina Partnership for Children (NCPC) which works to ensure Smart Start is a sustainable and valued early childhood system, creating better outcomes for children and families.
Smart Start works to increase access to quality early care and education, collaborate with families to reach their goals, improve child health and well-being, and support early literacy for children birth-to-five. Local partnerships support children and their families through innovation, flexibility, and collaboration, leveraging state support and local resources to support communities.
The Carteret Partnership for Children is celebrating and honoring over thirty years of the Smart Start Network in North Carolina.
Smart Start provides tools and resources to fully engage young children in learning opportunities, so they can grow to be healthy, productive, and well-rounded students, parents, workers, and leaders. This support is crucial as many children do not have access to the experiences or environments that foster healthy brain development, such as supportive child-parent interactions, effective early education, and health care.
