NC Partnership for Children (NCPC)

Advance a high quality, comprehensive, accountable early childhood system that benefits each child in North Carolina beginning with a healthy birth

Smart Start is North Carolina's proven leader in early childhood development and family support during the critical first five years of life.

By recognizing and building on the unique strengths of each team member, we strive to deliver the best possible outcomes for young children and their families across North Carolina.

NCPC has a longstanding commitment to fair and equitable treatment. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or veteran status.
