Early Education Boosts NC’s Economic Recovery

Martin/Pitt Partnership for Children is pleased to partner with The North Carolina Partnership for Children, Inc., in announcing the release of The Economic Impact of Investments in Early Care and Education in North Carolina report and a new, county-based data. These resources make it clear that North Carolina’s early education system is the backbone of our economic infrastructure! Early education in our state:

• Allows parents to work, earning nearly $12.5 billion each year for our state.
• Generates $1.7 billion annually.
• Employs 50,000 North Carolinians.
• And most importantly, it builds human capital, laying the groundwork for the state’s future success.
