In counties across North Carolina, educators and children's advocates are recruiting children who most need help before they start kindergarten--low-income children who have never been in child care.  Children who qualify will spend the rest of the school year in state funded More at Four classes building skills for school success, at no cost to their parents.

More at Four is administered by Burke County Smart Start.  Through collaboration with Burke County Public Schools and Private Child Care Centers, we served 470 eligible four-year olds in 2008/2009. 

There are 27 classrooms in the school system, as well as programs available in Head Start, and three private child care centers.  Currently, approximately 435 children are receiving services.  Children must be four (4) by August 31, 2005 to enroll in the 2009-10 More at Four school year.  To learn whether your child is eligible and to apply, please contact one of the following:
