For Parents
There are times as parents when you don’t have the answers and you don’t know where to turn.
Following are a few useful resources to give parents a helping hand:
From its offices one-half mile north of the Moore County Airport, Partners for Children and Families of Moore County offers child care referral services to the public, technical assistance to area child care programs and financial support to partner organizations providing a wide variety of services to families of young children. As part of North Carolina’s nationally recognized and award-winning early childhood initiative known as Smart Start, the goal of PfCF is that all young children enter school healthy and ready to succeed. Contact PfCF at 7720 N.C. 22, Carthage, at (910) 949-4045 or visit www.moore4kids.com.
The Department of Social Services also offers a child day-care coordination program. In addition, DSS may also determine eligibility for Smart Start day care funds. Moore County Social Services is located at 1036 Carriage Oaks Dr., Carthage. Call (910) 947-2436
The Head Start Program is a federally funded program serving children ages 3-5. Enrollment is based on family income, meeting federal incomes.
