Did you know? A child’s brain develops faster from birth to age 8 than at any other time in life! High-quality early education sets the stage for healthier lives, higher wages and a brighter future.

Last fiscal year, 1,674 educators grew their skills, impacting over 54,000 of North Carolina’s youngest learners. Read our 2023-2024 FY state compendium to learn more.
