What is the Alamance Partnership for Children?

The Alamance Partnership for Children is a non-profit organization serving young children and families in Alamance County.   We are an early childhood initiative designed to ensure that young children enter school healthy and ready to succeed. ​The Partnership is the local administrator for Smart Start and NC Pre-Kindergarten funds.
​
​Why Smart Start?
​The earliest years of childhood are critical. Experiences during this time shape the structure of the brain. Because today's children are tomorrow's leaders, everyone has a stake in making sure that all children have the experiences they need to thrive. Smart Start brings together  the people involved in a young child's life - families, teachers, doctors, caregivers, social workers, and many others - to ensure every child has all they need for healthy growth and development.  To learn more about Smart Start in North Carolina, visit the North Carolina Partnership for Children.
