Preschool Program

North Carolina's Prekindergarten Program is designed to provide high-quality educational experiences to enhance school readiness for eligible four-year-old children.  The NC Pre-K Program Requirements are built on the National Education Goals Panel's premise that to be successful academically in school, children need to be prepared in all five of the developmental domains that are critical to children's overall well-being and success in reading and math as they enter school:

-Approaches to play and learning

-Emotional and social development

-Health and Physical Development 

-Language development and communication 

-Cognitive development

Classes are designed to best meet the needs of all students. Typically developing children must be at least 3 years old by the first day of school and may not be eligible for kindergarten. Children applying for NCPK slots must be age 4 to be eligible. 

Tuition for children who enter at various points throughout the year will be prorated.

• Class sizes are limited to serve 18 students.
• Preschool classes follow the Caldwell County School Calendar.
• Hours of attendance may vary at each school.
• Tuition for the preschool program is competitive.  
• Applications for these slots can be found
