The Anne Laukaitis Champion for Children Award is in honor of Anne’s distinguished Smart Start leadership and her long career dedicated to the service of young children and families in Cabarrus County. This award is given annually to an exceptional individual at the local level who is devoted to public service and whose leadership qualities have resulted in significant change for the betterment of young children, families, and communities. Among the leadership qualities the recipient will exemplify are:

Cabarrus Partnership for Children is offering an universal application that allows parents to apply for their child(ren) to attend any of Cabarrus County's free, high-quality preschool programs in 2021-2022. 

Unfortunately, COVID-19 forced us to cancel our annual Voices for Children Luncheon, which is where we would have told you all about our programs and successes from the year. Instead, we hope you will join us virtually, through our annual report and our social media posts, to hear our stories and learn about the impact that we’re making throughout Cabarrus County.
