We do this primarily by overseeing North Carolina's nationally-recognized initiative, Smart Start. 0 0 121574592 118568675 Smart Start: North Carolina's nationally-recognized early childhood initiative. Smart Start measurably increases the health and well-being of young children, building the foundation for all future learning, by:-Improving children's early care and education programs so that they are safe, healthy and provide opportunities for children to learn skills they need for success in school.-Ensuring that children are screened for developmental delays.-Providing parents with tools that support them in raising happy, healthy successful children.Research released in March 2011 by Duke University found that investments in Smart Start generate broad education benefits. Key findings include:-Third-graders have higher standardized reading and math scores and lower special education placement rates in those counties that had received relatively more funding for Smart Start and More at Four when these children were younger.-The favorable effects for each program are independent of each other and complement each other, so that the best outcomes hold for children exposed to more of each program.In addition, since 1996 there have been 37 independently conducted evaluations all with positive results, including:-More children attend high quality care -from 33% to 64% since 2001, when Smart Start began tracking this data.-Children have teachers with higher levels of education.-More working families receive help to afford high quality care.-More children with disabilities are identified at a younger age and are referred to early intervention services.-More parents are engaged in positive parenting practices.This initiative improves the quality of child care programs; connects families to high-quality child care and often helps families pay for this care; connects families to physicians as well as state insurance programs; and helps improve parenting and early literacy skills. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010: 10,733 teachers participated in Smart Start-funded programs that helped them to study early education at the college level, allowing them to stay in the profession and provide stable care to approximately 125,000 children; 47,213 children in working families received assistance from Smart Start to pay for child care;6,169 children with special needs or at risk for development delay received Smart Start health-related services;16,178 parents/guardians participated in early literacy programs; and53 elementary schools and 20 school districts participated in activities to ease school child transitions into kindergarten.As the legislatively-mandated oversight agency, NCPC worked to ensure that Smart Start met all legislative mandates and operated to the highest standards of effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and integrity. Smart Start local partnerships were provided with cost effective tools and systems to do business, including support for centralized accounting, computer and program reporting systems to ensure reliability, accuracy, and economies of scale. NCPC also performed rigorous monitoring of local partnerships and delivered quality technical assistance and training. 682962 139461 37150 Early Care and Education Assistance to Other States: Provides nonstate funded assistance to other states that want to learn how to develop a high-quality, comprehensive early care and education system. In addition to working with several states during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, implementation of the State Early Childhood Leadership Network and the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) continued. The Leadership Network brings together state early childhood leaders to participate in an on-going support and learning network. The QRIS network is advancing the use of rating and improvement strategies to elevate the quality of care and education systems and to support and improve children's development. 532756 1000 Governance Strengthening Initiative: This nonstate funded capacity building program works to strengthen and sustain the 77 local nonprofit organizations that implement Smart Start in all 100 counties. The initiative seeks to strengthen governance and executive leadership, increase diversity and inclusion, expand community involvement, and help these nonprofits diversify financial resources. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, intensive governance technical assistance and training was provided to 32 nonprofit organizations and their boards. 591070 97396 33780 Strengthen Early Childhood System: A public engagement initiative titled Smart Investing: Communities thrive when children thrive to establish what North Carolina communities want for their youngest children and the future of the State.

EARLY CHILDHOOD LEADERSHIP 3 710 PROGRAM DESIGN WORKSHOP 21 11742 CHILD CARE QUALITY RATING IMPROVEMENT 1 5000 Procedure for Monitoring Grants in the U.S.: Part I, Line 2: Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: The North Carolina Partnership for Children, Inc. (NCPC) has a staff dedicated to on-site financial and programmatic monitoring of grants. Policies, procedures, and monitoring programs have been in place since 2001 and are periodically reviewed and revised as needed. Of the grantees, 77 (representing nearly 100% of our total grants) are nonprofits that provide services to North Carolina's young children and their families through North Carolina's Early Childhood Initiative ("Smart Start"). As required by State legislation, these grantees generally have biennial yellow-book audits (financial and compliance) by an independent Certified Public Accounting firm. Accordingly, NCPC typically coordinates its monitoring with that of the auditors and, therefore, also monitors these grantees biennially. Monitoring is rigorous and includes, but is not limited to, a review of board of director operations, financial accounting and reporting, and programmatic compliance. A formal close-out conference is held with board members, management of the partnership, and other staff. Subsequent to the close-out conference, a formal monitoring report with recommendations for improvement is issued to the grantee's board chair, executive committee and executive director. Depending upon the nature and number of issues noted in the report, a monitoring visit may be held in six to eight months to follow up on the status of the issues noted in the report. NCPC's Audit and Finance Committee is provided with a summary of year-to-date grantee monitoring results.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The North Carolina Partnership for Children, Inc. (NCPC) recognizes that effective governance depends on deliberate, thoughtful, and disinterested decision-making by its directors, officers and staff. Moreover, NCPC's work depends on the continued trust and confidence in its integrity, which is grounded in fair and responsible decision-making. The Board of Directors of NCPC believes it is in the best interest of NCPC to establish a clear and concise Conflict of Interest Policy. The Conflict of Interest Policy is intended to promote the avoidance of Conflicts of Interest and the appearance of impropriety by NCPC directors, officers and staff. It sets the rules for conduct, including disclosure by directors and officers of personal or financial interests that may affect the business of NCPC. Annually each member of the Board is required to review a copy of the Policy and to acknowledge that he or she has done so. The Policy is monitored and enforced through the following actions: A. Prior to action on a Contract or Transaction, the Board or Committee Chair shall ask the group to identify actual or perceived Conflicts of Interest. A director who knows he or she has a Conflict of Interest shall disclose the conflict and such disclosure shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting. B. When there is a doubt as to whether a conflict exists, the matter shall be resolved by a vote of the Board of Directors excluding the person(s) concerning whose situation the doubt has arisen. C. All appointed Board members shall avoid conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety. Should instances arise when a conflict may be perceived, any individual who may benefit directly or indirectly from the NCPC's disbursement of funds shall abstain from participating in any decision or deliberations by NCPC regarding the disbursement of funds. D. The person known to have a Conflict of Interest may not vote on the Contract or Transaction and must leave the room during the vote unless leaving the room brings attendance below the level of a quorum. The official minutes shall reflect that the Conflict of Interest was disclosed and person(s) with the Conflict were not present during the vote and did not vote on the matter. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Salaries and wages of all employees are set in accordance with a formal pay plan which includes pay grades (with minimum, mid-point and maximum pay rates). The plan was originally developed by an independent consultant and is based on the National Position Evaluation Plan published by the Management Associations of America. It is updated periodically by benchmarking pay rates against data from Capital Associated Industries of Raleigh, NC, which conducts annual salary surveys, and occupation-specific and location-specific data from the Occupational Employment and Wages Statistics program of the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina. The plan will be revised periodically to include data from the recently developed survey of salaries in North Carolina nonprofits sponsored by the N.C. Center for Nonprofits Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 These documents are available upon request, and the financial statements are also available on the website of the North Carolina Office of State Auditor. Additionally, the governance structure, board committee roles, and meeting dates are posted on our website. FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 2C AUDIT COMMITTEE THE AUDIT COMMITTEE ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR OVERSIGHT OF THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. FORM 990, PART VI, LINE 8B Authority Delegated to the Executive Committee: The Executive Committee consists of the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and the chairs of these board committees: Governance, Planning and Oversight, and Audit and Finance, who are appointed by the Chair and approved by the Board of Directors.
