We help support families in Lexington County so that all children enter school ready to learn.

Children begin learning from the moment they are born. Every experience helps to build a foundation for success in school and in life. With positive support at an early age, children gain social and emotional skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary for a strong start in school. Our approach is to provide access to high-quality programs and services for children and families that includes intensive training, resources and support for childcare providers through strategic partnerships and community education.
