Family Support

Connecting Families to Essential Early Childhood Services in Hertford and Northampton Counties
The Hertford-Northampton Smart Start Partnership for Children collaborates with a wide network of local agencies to ensure that young children and their families have access to the services they need. Our mission is to identify gaps in early childhood programs, eliminate duplication of services, and help maximize the use of existing community resources.
By leveraging state Smart Start funding and blending it with other local resources, the Partnership supports a variety of high-quality programs for children from birth to age five. These programs help promote school readiness, healthy development, and strong family engagement.
Current Programs Funded Through the Partnership Include:
Choanoke Area Development Association, Inc. (CADA)
CADA’s Parents As Teachers (PAT) program provides developmental screenings, early learning support, and parent education. It also coordinates services through the Parent-Child Mobile Unit, which brings resources directly into the community.
For more information, contact Mrs. Pamela Taylor at (252) 332-2692.
Hertford County Schools Title I Pre-Kindergarten Program
The Partnership helps expand access to early learning by funding two Title I pre-kindergarten classrooms, increasing the number of four-year-olds served in Hertford County.
