Story
Wake County Smart Start works to ensure that children, birth to five, are prepared for success in school and in life.
Join Wake County Smart Start (WCSS) in celebrating 25 years of changing the lives of young children in Wake County by attending the BUILDING BRIGHT FUTURES fundraiser. Your donation will help move our mission forward:
· Administering free, public preschool programs for 3 and 4-year-olds living in poverty.
· Improving the quality of child care centers.
· Supporting early literacy, teaching healthy habits, funding parent education and at home services.
· Reaching over 40,000 children last fiscal year.
THE WHY: Investing in early childhood lifts children out of poverty, creates a pipeline for a well-trained workforce, reduces future societal costs and delivers on the dream that every parent has for their child – a dream of a bright future.
