The Hoke County Partnership for Children and Families brings together families, childcare professionals, and community leaders to enhance opportunities that inspire young minds. 


The Partnership is a nonprofit agency formed in 1994. We are Smart Start in Hoke County!

Key leaders came together in that first year and received a state grant from the Department of Health and Human Services.

We have grown and gained experience in service design and delivery over the years.

We continue to plan programs that support our mission: helping children and families by providing a foundation to develop self-assurance for life through education and resources.
