Founded in 1998, One Place has grown into the heart of Onslow County — connecting thousands of children and families every year to the programs they need to thrive. Children are no small matter.
In Onslow County, too many children face challenges that stand between them and a healthy future. At One Place, we show up — for every child, every family, every time.
From a baby’s first book to healing after trauma — our programs meet families where they are and walk alongside them toward a brighter future.
Our nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center provides forensic interviews, trauma-informed therapy, medical exams, and case coordination — creating a clear path from crisis to healing.
NC Pre-K, Three School, and Early Head Start — high-quality, no-cost early learning for children from birth through age 5, regardless of income or circumstance.
Personalized guidance finding affordable, licensed child care — including help understanding subsidy programs and what quality early care really looks like for your child.
Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, we’ve gifted 506,000+ free books to Onslow County children. Little Free Libraries, Story Walks, and family literacy tools spark lifelong readers.
Home to one of NC’s largest active-duty populations, we help military-connected families navigate transitions, access child care, and find trauma-informed support after deployment.
Safe Kids Coalition, Triple P Positive Parenting, and family workshops give parents the tools to build safe, nurturing homes where every child can genuinely flourish.
When our family hit rock bottom, One Place was the only place that didn’t give up on us. They helped us find care for our youngest and therapy for our oldest. Today, both are thriving.
