Promoting kindergarten readiness for young children through comprehensive services


Educating Our Future Leaders

Our program provides comprehensive services to expectant mothers, infants, toddlers and preschool children. The program serves eligible families in Rowan and Davidson Counties (NC). The program promotes the well-being of children and their families by creating trusting and positive relationships that encourage parents to become engaged in the early development and learning experience.
