NC Pre-K classrooms are designed to provide high quality educational experiences for four-year-old children who are at risk of school failure.
The NC Pre-K Program is designed to provide high-quality educational experiences to enhance school readiness for eligible four-year-old children. The program requirements are built on the premise that to be successful academically in school, children need to be prepared in all five of the developmental domains outlined by the National Education Goals Panel and the North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and Development. Each of these domains is critical to children’s well-being and school success. Research shows that children who experience high quality care and education, and who enter school well prepared, are more successful in school and later in their lives. The five domains, as reflected in the North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and Development standards are
- Approaches to play and learning
- Emotional and social development
- Health and Physical Development
- Language development and communication
- Cognitive development
