Smart Start of Forsyth County supports programs for parents, child care facilities, and educators by directly administering services in house, and by providing financial support to local human service agencies to administer services. Parents who seek support in child rearing, locating affordable child care options, health intervention, and preparing young children for school can access Smart Start programs in a variety of settings including child care centers, pediatrician offices, and within the home. Child care centers and homes, along with individual early childhood educators, can find comprehensive support for improving or maintaining the quality of a child care facility as well as support to obtain higher levels of education through our partnerships with local universities and colleges.
