Developmental Goals
NC Pre-K prepares children for a successful start in kindergarten. They will practice early reading, writing, and math skills through structured lessons and hands-on activities. They also grow socially and emotionally as they learn to work with others.
Teachers monitor each child’s development through classroom observation and formal assessments during the first 90 days of enrollment. These screenings help identify each child’s strengths and any areas where additional support may be helpful.
Core Subject Areas
Language & Literacy
Children strengthen phonics, vocabulary, early reading, and writing skills.
Mathematics
Children build number sense, counting skills, patterns, and early problem-solving abilities.
Science
Children explore nature, the environment, and basic scientific ideas through observation and activities.
Social & Emotional Development

Health & Safety
