| The local Partnership works with many
different local agencies who provide services to children and families and works to
identify needed programs and services as well as resources to meet those needs. Often,
programs exist but are not being utilized. Sometimes duplication of services are noted.
The Partnership was formed to eliminate those duplications and fill the voids in the
service delivery system.
High quality childcare continues to
positively predict children's performance well into their school
careers. That is why Smart Start and the FGV Partnership spends
70% of its funds to improve affordable, accessible, high quality child
care and other child care related activities.
