Everything we do is centered around our mission to advance a high quality, comprehensive, accountable early childhood system that benefits each child in North Carolina beginning with a healthy birth.Â

At NC Partnership for Children (NCPC) we strive to model these values through our leadership and live these values in our everyday interactions. Our work is rooted in honoring and respecting the experiences and perspectives of all North Carolinians to deliver the best possible outcomes for young children and families.
Mission-Focused
People First
We believe our mission is best achieved when we build upon the strengths and talents of each member of our organization. Having the right people in the right roles encourages every member of the team to lead because our colleagues bring their own valuable experience of walking in the world.Â
Fairness
The future prosperity of our state depends on all children developing to their full potential. We invite those most impacted by discrimination to be a part of our decision-making process and strive to eliminate policies, practices, attitudes, and cultural messages that reinforce disparities.Â
Integrity
We operate with integrity and transparency, use our resources wisely as we mitigate risk and steward the public and private funds entrusted to us, and rely on mutual respect and honest communication.Â
Innovation
We allow for thoughtful risk-taking in order to find new and better ways to improve outcomes for children. We cultivate a culture that values on-going learning, knowledge management, and professional growth.Â
