Research shows that funding birth-to-five programs is the best way to maximize taxpayers' investments in education. Despite difficult economic conditions during the 09-10 fiscal year, and uncertainty in the lives of area families, The Partnership for Chidlren has worked diligently to support quality early child care services to families and children in our community.

The Partnership for Children funds vital services in early care and education, social/emotional intervention, and family support, all of which make a difference for thousands of our county’s youngest children, their families and child care providers.
