Home / About Us
The Smart Start Lake County Collective is made up of members from agencies and organizations around the Lake who serve pregnant women and/or families with children ages birth to five. We strive to work together to create a local early childhood system that makes sense to families and is easy to navigate so that parents and caregivers can find and be connected to services with as little hassle as possible.
Our goal is for every young child in Lake County to be connected to needed supports as early as possible, and to get the best possible start in life!
