Smart Start-Centre County is dedicated to the vision that all children in our region should start school ready to learn.
It is within this vision that Smart Start has built a large network of child care professionals, businesses, parents, academics, and citizens to focus on the needs, concerns, and issues of young children in Centre County.
The Smart Start-Centre County network acts as a clearinghouse for information, an advocate for early childhood, and a support vehicle for existing and new projects. Our volunteers use the existing skills and resources of our network members within the rich and diverse environment of Centre County to formulate coalitions, plans, projects, and funding opportunities.
