North Carolina Online Resources: an Annotated List of NC Websites: Children

Action for Children is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the health and well being of North Carolina's children. The website includes links to resources focusing on research and policy change in four areas: child health and safety, early care and education, child maltreatment, and juvenile justice.

Sponsored by the Instructional Technology Division of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, this well-designed site contains research information for school aged children as well as their parents and teachers.

Sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services, the Division of Child Care's site serves as a resource for parents and providers of child care. Visitors to the site can review records for all licensed day care providers in the state, review North Carolina child care laws, and find resources to help them find reputable child care facilities.
