Our Impact

Since 1997 we have been serving parents, educators, and children birth to five. Through our family support, educator support, literacy, and health and wellness programs, our goal is to provide a foundation for all children birth to five in Davie County to prepare them for kindergarten. Building and supporting collaboration between families and community resources allows us to develop and implement quality child care, education, health, and family support.
