We now know that 80% of brain growth happens in the first 3 years of life, when 1 million neural connections are created every second.

We know early literacy and meaningful interactions with infants and toddlers can have a significant impact on future success and lifelong health. And we know that one supportive, caring adult in a child’s life can counter the effects of toxic stress.

We know collaborating with community partners, parents, and child care providers to identify and adopt initiatives and programs to support our youngest children and their families can change the tides.

And we know you can make a difference that lasts a lifetime!

You can make a lasting difference!

As we wrap up 2019 and look ahead to 2020, it’s a good time to pause and ask, “And how are the children?”

To many cultures around the world, this is an important question because the answer, “The children are well,” indicates that life is good, peace and safety prevail, and children’s well-being is prioritized.

And how are the children in Randolph County?

55% live in poverty.

24% live in food-insecure households and struggle with hunger.

57% of children age 5 and younger live in households where all parents are working. Only 22% are in regulated child care settings.

200 cases of abuse/neglect referrals were substantiated last year, with 30 children placed in foster care.

Nearly half of Randolph County’s children are leaving third grade without having mastered reading proficiency, significantly reducing their chances for success in school, the workforce, and later life.
