Established in 1977, the Children's Council of Watauga County, Inc. builds upon the strengths of children, families, and educators by investing resources, information, and training toward promoting the future health and success of our greatest community asset:  Our Children.  All of the programs, from prenatal to age 12, concentrate on child development to prepare children to be ready to succeed in school.  Through family support, early literacy programs, child care technical assistance & professional development, and community outreach & collaboration we focus on the importance of each child.  We are committed to our vision of a community where every child has the support to live a healthy, happy life.  We work to build a strong foundation for children's learning and development by strengthening families, the early childhood system, and the wider community. 

The Children's Council of Watauga County, Inc. is a 501c3 organization and your donation is tax deductible.
