Our Mission
Smart Start Suffolk is a county-wide, early childhood initiative led by County Executive Steve Bellone that addresses all aspects of a child’s development through the collaboration of intergovernmental agencies and community partners. Smart Start Suffolk streamlines access to resources in an effort to increase awareness and accessibility for all constituents.
In addition, the efforts of our pilot program work to serve underserved communities by utilizing evidence-based supports during home visits to address holistically the well-being and literacy of the child to ensure kindergarten readiness.
