Guilford County Partnership for Children

The Partnership for Children of Guilford County is working toward a future where every child in Guilford County enters school safe, healthy and ready to succeed.

Through the use of public dollars and private donations, we collaborate with existing community programs and create new ones. These programs measurably strengthen families and improve the lives of children.

Partnership Office Update as of June 1, 2020

The Partnership for Children of Guilford County staff will return to the office on Monday, June 1st at 8:30am. Due to the continued concerns surrounding COVID-19 and for the safety of our staff and families served, the Partnership offices will remain closed to the public at this time. For a Partnership staff list on whom you may contact via email, please visit our Staff Page.

Attention Parents! NC Pre-K Update:

NC Pre-K applications may be mailed to 500 W. Friendly Avenue, Suite #100, Greensboro, NC 27401, dropped off in our drop box at the same address M-F from 8:00am-3:00pm, or you can fill out an online application here.  The Guilford County Schools deadline to apply was May 22, 2020.

To fill out the online application you will need a Gmail account to complete this application online. If you don’t have a Gmail account, you may create one or complete a paper application. If you have any questions, please email brendad@guilfordchildren.org. We will also keep families updated as to when we are able to resume screenings.  Please email Brenda Mathis at the email above with any questions, or for assistance in completing your child’s application.

We are excited to offer our NC Pre-K families the opportunity to speak one on one with a NC Pre-K Specialist.  If you haven’t completed your child’s NC Pre-K application and have questions, we are now available for phone appointments.  The days will vary depending on staff schedules. Information can be found here.

We are already offering placement to children in private and Headstart sites.  You can still choose a Guilford County School site, but you will be in the second round of placements.  Don’t forget you can apply online and never leave your home. 

We understand that our parents may have questions regarding NC Pre-K for the 2020-2021 School Year. Would you like to ask us a question? Please visit our website at: https://www.guilfordchildren.org/families/nc-pre-k-4-yr-olds/ and you will have your question answered directly by our NC Pre-K Team! Just look for the questionnaire at the bottom of the page.

For regular updates, be sure to check back frequently.   You may also follow us on social media @GuilfordKids. Thank you and stay safe.
