Partnership Offers Parents Expert Advice
Got a child care question?
The Iredell County Partnership for Young Children helps families find the answers to child care and other parenting issues.
“We have a complete database of licensed child care operators in homes and centers in Iredell County‚” says Karen Campbell‚ regional school-age specialist and program evaluator for the Iredell County Partnership for Young Children‚ headquartered in Statesville.
The partnership operates Child Care Solutions‚ a comprehensive child care resource and referral organization for parents.
“We have preschools listed in there as well‚ so we’re able to help parents discover what’s in the area‚” Campbell says. “We also help link parents with other services in the community.”
The Iredell County Partnership for Young Children offers assistance to first-time moms‚ a positive-parenting training program that addresses child-behavior issues‚ and other programs such as More at Four‚ North Carolina’s state-funded pre-kindergarten program that prepares 4-year-olds for school.
The Partnership for Young Children‚ a nonprofit organization led by local volunteers‚ also helps parents find health-care services for children.
“In addition to child care solutions‚ we do a variety of things to prepare children to be ready for success in school‚” Campbell says.
