Welcome to Western North Carolina! Though the mostly rural landscape of Western North Carolina creates many challenges, the culture and closeness of communities have created a thriving environment for collaboration and innovation, both locally and regionally, when it comes to helping young children thrive, learn, and grow. With a rich regional patchwork of unique and diverse mountain and foothills communities, advocates, organizations, and educators of the western region of North Carolina are thoughtfully coacting to bring support, resources, and attention to the resilience needs of the region’s youngest children and their families.
