What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten Program
NC Pre-K is a state-funded, community-based pre-kindergarten program designed to provide 4-year-old children, who may not otherwise be served, with a valuable educational experience for 6.5 hours per day. The NC Pre-K program in Onslow County serves over 700 children in community-based child care and public school settings.
Early Head Start
Our EHS team is dedicated to making a positive impact on the child’s school readiness, development and the family’s well-being in the early years through a variety of high-quality services. Promote healthy development and recognize and address atypical development at the earliest stage possible. We promote positive relationships between parents and their infants and toddlers through fostering healthy parent child relationships. We also provide individualized services to children with disabilities in collaboration with other service providers.
Smart Start Onslow Three School
This program provides high-quality educational experiences to enhance school readiness for children who may not otherwise be served. Parents with a 3 year-old child who meet TANF income eligibility may apply if they are currently working or going to school.
Family Support Services
OCPC supports all parents and caregivers in the County—from referrals to quality childcare programs, to resources for the entire family and financial assistance for child care. Our services focus on creating brighter futures.
Available programs include: Circle of Parents, Triple P: Positive Parenting Program and Nurturing Pathways.
Early Educator Resources
OCPC assists early educators and early learning centers in many ways. Our resources are available for anyone considering a career in the field of early care and education, or for those just beginning to navigate the licensing process. If your program is already up and running or you are currently an early educator, please check out the Continuous Quality Enhancement Initiative and our early educator trainings.
Child Advocacy Center
The CAC of Onslow County is a child-friendly facility providing hope and healing to children from birth through age 17 who have experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, serious neglect or who have been exposed to violence.
Our CAC works to reduce the impact of child abuse by simultaneously bringing together law enforcement, child protective services, forensic interviewers, medical and mental health providers, victim advocacy professionals and prosecution into abuse investigations. This multi-disciplinary approach helps children heal from the trauma of abuse while ensuring offenders are held accountable.
