Listen to today’s episode HERE: Buncombe Partnership for Children
For background, here is how Buncombe Partnership for Children describes its mission:
“Buncombe Partnership for Children is on a mission to strengthen the capacity of educators, families, and the community to build a strong foundation for children’s learning and development beginning at birth.”
“The majority of brain development happens during the first 2,000 days—the time between birth and kindergarten–forming the foundation for all future learning. This is why we invest in children from ages birth to 5 years old and their families, caretakers, and educators by partnering with local organizations to: improve the quality of early childhood education;
increase access to affordable, high quality early care; expand early literacy opportunities; encourage healthy eating, physical activity, and outdoor play; provide family support.”
“We value lifelong learning and believe that each child’s first 2,000 days are crucial. Our vision is that every child in our community will reach their fullest potential and be prepared for lifelong success.”
