Smart Start,
launched by Governor Jim Hunt in 1993, is a comprehensive
public-private initiative to help all North Carolina children
enter school healthy, motivated and
ready to succeed. Studies show that more than 85 percent of a
child's intellect, personality and social skills are formed by
age five. Thanks to Smart Start, children in North Carolina are
getting the early childhood education, health care and family
support they need during these most critical years of
development.
Programs and services of Smart Start are
developed and administered by communities and partnerships at
the local level — the people who know best the needs of their
children and families. These partnerships bring together local
parents, educators, childcare providers, non profits, faith
communities, and businesses to help build bright futures for
North Carolina children.
Partnership for
Children of Johnston County, incorporated in 1997,
offers a wide variety of services to promote the physical,
educational, and social well-being of all Johnston County
children ages 0-5.
