Smart Start is a comprehensive public-private initiative to help all North Carolina's children enter school healthy and ready to succeed.  Smart Start programs and services provide children under age five access to high-quality and affordable child care, health care, and other critical services.

The Wilson County Partnership for Children is a non-profit organization led by local volunteers, designed to provide Smart Start programs and services for families and children in Wilson, North Carolina.

The Wilson County Partnership for Children envisions a partnership in which the Wilson County community joins hands with families so that every child under the age of five is cared for by loving, competent adults, helped to stay healthy and safe, given opportunities to learn, create, and enjoy life, and enters school prepared to be successful.

Our mission is to support the development of young children and families in Wilson County through collaborative, community-based programs focusing on health, family support services, and quality education.
