We encourage you to join Wake County SmartStart in its mission to ensure children, birth to 5, are prepared for success in school and in life. There are a number of ways to support the organization and to help children and their families in Wake County.
Research shows that funding birth-to-five programs is the best way to maximize taxpayers' investments in education. Despite difficult economic conditions during the 2008-2009 fiscal year, and uncertainty in the lives of area families, Wake County SmartStart has worked diligently to support quality early child care services to families and children in the most need.
