As a member of the Smart Start Network, we know that quality child care does more than provide a safe place for kids during the day. It’s responsible for:

✏️Getting kids ready for school: Trained educators use structure and routines to build the skills kids need before kindergarten.

💬Teaching kids how to socialize: Structured play teaches kids to cooperate, share, and understand others' feelings.

🧠Developing young minds: Engaging, age-appropriate activities led by skilled teachers form the foundation for future learning.

That’s why we invest in improving the quality of child care in Davidson County. Learn more at www.partnershipforchildren.com
