Wake County SmartStart works to ensure children in Wake County, birth to 5, are prepared for success in school and in life. To that end, we prioritize the community needs and focus on funding projects in the following areas:
- available and accessible quality child care,
- safe and supportive home environments, and
- kindergarten readiness.
Wake County SmartStart supports 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.
In fiscal year 2009-10, with an allocation of $22.5 million, Wake County SmartStart funded 14 partner agencies that manage 27 community programs, including More at Four.
