Big Rock Foundation Awards CPC Grant

The Carteret Partnership for Children is thrilled to announce an $8,200 grant from the Big Rock Foundation, paving the way for an inspiring expansion of our Lending Library. This invaluable resource empowers Early Childhood Educators, families, and community members to borrow a wealth of materials—books, toys, activity kits, and essential tools like a die-cut machine and laminator—that nurture early learning and elevate the quality of our educational environments.

 Our Lending Library proudly offers high-quality, developmentally appropriate materials that embrace a diverse range of cultures and are tailored to meet the needs of all children. The expansion will be completed by early Spring 2026, with the Lending Library open on Wednesdays from 7 am to 3 pm. Childcare educators will have the opportunity to request materials delivered right to their facilities.

 We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Big Rock Foundation for its generous support and unwavering commitment to the children of Carteret County.
