Our Mission

The mission of Bladen Smart Start is to ensure that every Bladen County child, birth to five years old, has an equal and fair opportunity for success.

A thriving community starts with thriving children, and that requires all of us working together. We invite parents, childcare providers, local businesses, and community members to join this essential mission. Whether you have time to volunteer, expertise to share, or a desire to support our programs, your partnership is crucial to helping Bladen County’s children reach their full potential. Let’s build a stronger future, together.
