We collaborate and refer to many excellent organizations. Learn more about those resources here.

We have missed the face to face training due to the pandemic that Laurens First Steps provides. We hope we can return to this in the upcoming year. Online learning is just not for everyone.

Monica, Child Care Center Staff

We thank Laurens County First Steps for initiating the focus on early childhood education in Laurens County. This group can  broaden public knowledge on critical needs for preschool children to receive in  order for them to succeed in school.
