Calhoun County First Steps Helping Calhoun County, SC, families and caregivers prepare their children for school.

Calhoun County First Steps to School Readiness, a non-profit partnership, was established on September 24, 1999. The Partnership goals are to (1) provide parents with access to the support they might seek and want to strengthen their families and to promote the optimal development of their preschool children; (2) increase comprehensive services so children have reduced risk for major physical, developmental, and learning problems; and (3) provide services so all children receive the protection, nutrition and health care needed to thrive in the early years of life so they arrive at school ready to learn.

💕📚 Celebrating Dolly Parton & the Gift of Imagination 📚💕

Dolly Parton’s vision has helped bring the magic of reading into the homes and hearts of children through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Her belief that every child deserves the opportunity to dream, learn, and grow through books continues to inspire families and communities everywhere.

Here at Calhoun County First Steps, we are proud to be part of that mission. ❤️

✨ In honor of Dolly and her incredible legacy, families can still sign up TODAY to receive FREE books delivered directly to their child! 📚🏡
