About Us

The Catawba County Partnership for Children is a local nonprofit agency that is focused on ensuring that children enter school healthy and prepared for success. Through the state funded Smart Start initiative, the NC Pre-Kindergarten Program, Imagination Library, and other early childhood related efforts, we work to engage local stakeholders in supporting young children and families, “Ensuring every child in Catawba County enters kindergarten prepared for lifelong success.”

Our projects and services focus on improving the quality of local child care options, helping parents afford quality child care, strengthening families through parent education opportunities, supporting early childhood teachers in improving their education, finding and serving children with identified special needs, promoting early literacy, and facilitating a smooth transition to kindergarten.
