Cleveland County Partnership for Children is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) that started in 1993 as one of North Carolina's first 12 Smart Start Partnerships. Since this partnership began, our goal has been to form collaborative partnerships with families, child care providers, schools, businesses, local government agencies, organizations, and the faith-based community to make resources and programs readily available for parents and children in our community. Through the years, our resources and programs have reached thousands of children and families across Cleveland County. Our hope is that the services and supports we provide will enable our children to build strong health and learning foundations that will prepare them to succeed in life.
