Support Our Mission

At Smart Start of Forsyth County, we know what it takes to put young children on a path to lifelong success: high-quality childcare, education, programs that support physical and developmental health, family literacy, and parenting skills—all delivered through a strong, diverse, and fully integrated early childhood system.

We know that investing in the early years provides a tremendous return on investment: for every $1 spent today, we save $13 dollars in future spending. In Forsyth County, we have many children and families who qualify for these essential programs. Of the 21,000 children ages birth to 5 who live in Forsyth County, 14.3% live in poverty. Unfortunately, funding for our programs does not meet the demand, but with your generosity, we can make an impact.

Supporters like you make a difference! Your gift, monetary and in-kind, bonds Forsyth County children and families by:

• Keeping children in safe, clean, and healthy facilities.
• Providing childcare scholarships for those who cannot afford it.
• Providing educational materials and IT equipment for teachers.
• Making nutrition an accessible priority.
• Empowering Forsyth County’s next generation.
