Through Project LIFT, parents and their children birth through 5 receive literacy and parenting skills training and support. The programs are offered to families with limited English proficiency (LEP), low income levels, and/or with limited literacy skills.
During the 2008-2009 fiscal year, 428 child care providers reported an increase in knowledge as a result of technical assistance and educational opportunities available to them.
By offering professional development, educational opportunities and technical assistance to more than 83% of Wake County’s child care teachers, Wake County SmartStart positively impacted the quality of child care by increasing the skill of child care professionals.
In FY 2008-2009, Wake County SmartStart funded services and activities through which almost 70% of child care facilities in Wake County received consultation and training, resulting in more highly-trained child care workers, which is critical to the quality of care a child receives.
