About Durham's
Partnership for Children

Durham's Partnership for Children leads community strategies for children birth-5 and their families to ensure that every child in Durham enters school healthy and ready to succeed. We administer the Smart Start initiative, NC Pre-K and Early Head Start, as well as community-based programs that promote healthy development and learning and enhance access to high quality care. The Partnership identifies emerging needs and mobilizes partners to support comprehensive approaches to serving all 23,000 young children in Durham.

Independent learning starts at home. 💫 To support your developing preschooler in succeeding at school, engage in basic self-care, maintain clear communication, and establish cleanup routines at home. These skills will foster confidence and success in the classroom! Which ones will you practice?
