Strong Start funds are used to augment existing private and public funds in an effort to strengthen early childhood systems in the county.

Programs address four main goals:

1. Capacity building (increasing the number of children that childcare providers can serve at one time);

2. Recruitment, training and retention of early childhood professionals;

3. Support for improving the quality of early childhood care and education programs and facilities; and

4. Financial assistance to families so all children can receive early childhood care and education.

The Early Childhood Advisory Panel meets quarterly.
