Bringing Out the Best
Welcome! ¡BIENVENIDO!
Bringing Out the Best provides free family-centered, community-based services to children ages birth -five with social/ emotional and behavioral challenges. Our objective is to increase the number of children in Guilford County that are healthy and ready to succeed as they enter kindergarten.
The fall and start of school typically brings an influx of referrals. For this reason, if you think you may want to refer a child for our services, please refer as soon as you can to avoid a long waitlist. Our current wait time is just a few weeks.

In the Early Years
For the past 20 years, Bringing Out the Best has lived up to its name by helping Guilford County residents under 5 years old overcome behavioral, social, and emotional challenges.
Helping approximately 100 children a year, the program has a year-round waitlist with caregivers eagerly waiting for their child’s name to be next in line to work with one of Bringing Out the Best’s dedicated specialists – trained professionals who Program Director Janet Howard describes as superheroes.
