Investing in children is the most powerful way to support healthy families and thriving communities. NC Planning + Consulting transforms program opportunities into pillars of community strength through support services and engaging workshops.

 

Evidence shows that for each $1 invested in high-quality early childhood programs, society gains between $4 and $16 in return—and programs targeting children from birth to age five can generate an annual return on investment of 13%*!

These programs significantly boost outcomes: children in quality early education are up to 2.5 times more likely to earn a college degree, achieve 15–25*% higher high school graduation rates, experience upward shifts in IQ, and demonstrate stronger social-emotional skills. They also sharply reduce the need for special education, minimize grade repetition, and lower juvenile crime rates—yielding tremendous long-term cost savings.

To truly achieve high quality of life with equitable access to lifelong wellness and education, strategic investment in community-based child and family programs is not only a wise-tactic for growing neighborhoods, it is a lasting commitment to the future generations.

Schedule a connection meeting today. We would love to partner with your program!
