  • September is Smart Start Month!

    September is Smart Start Month!

    The State of North Carolina proclaims September 2024 as Smart Start Month. September was selected because it marks the month that the first Smart Start Local Partnerships opened their doors. In 1993, there were five Partnerships, and now, we are 75 organizations across the state—all working for children’s first five years. 

    Each county-based Local Partnership is impactful for generations of North Carolinians. And this month we recognize our collective impact and invite everyone across the state to celebrate their wins for young children. We reaffirm our commitment to do more for children and the adults that care for them. A full month of recognition allows us to bring awareness to the Smart Start Network and to the importance of comprehensive supports for children right from the start.
