Service Highlight:
An owner of a child care business in New Bern: “Craven Smart Start CCR&R helped to enhance not only our star rated license, but our overall quality of care by providing us with new developmentally appropriate materials and updating our staff on the proper methods of sanitation. This day care has been in our family for over 40 years and is three generations strong.”
A teacher who received Technical Assistance: “The (Quality Enhancement Coordinator) recently assisted me in raising the child care star rating of my business. I could not have done it without her help. Ms. Bolz not only assisted me with technical advice and support but she labored manually with me and for me!”
A working parent who has used the R&R Service: “Craven Smart Start CCR&R has been such a blessing to me. When I call they are so helpful in whatever I need.
