Vision, Mission & Principles

Vision

All Guilford County children will enter school healthy, safe, and ready to succeed.

Mission

The Guilford Partnership for Children invests in early childhood development by:

• Supporting families and programs to foster healthy environments for young children to grow and learn.
• Educating families and the community about the role we all play in positively shaping children's early brain development.
• Connecting families, childcare providers and local agencies to resources and information.
• Advocating quality early childhood education for all children.

Guiding Principles

The science of early brain development tells us that the quality of a child's early relationships has a lasting impact on the individual's ability to reach his/her full potential.

All infants and young children deserve supportive environments that nurture healthy physical, emotional, social and cognitive growth.

Fostering early childhood development is not only a moral imperative but also a cost-effective way to invest in the long-term economic and social development of our community.
