Charleston County First Steps is driven by a single goal: to ensure that ALL Charleston County children are healthy and ready for kindergarten. Since our inception in 1999, we have helped thousands of children prepare for school through programs that provide early intervention, strengthen families, improve children’s health and well-being, and increase the quality of early care and education. Each South Carolina county is home to a First Steps Partnership responsible for meeting local needs and identifying collaborative opportunities to help our state’s youngest learners. Charleston County First Steps is proud to be a part of the state’s comprehensive early childhood education initiative.
