Is your child ready for Kindergarten? Enrolling them in a high-quality pre-kindergarten (pre-k) program will prepare them for the academic and social challenges of kindergarten and beyond. Focusing on literacy, numeracy, and social skills, pre-k programs provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Why Apply for our Pre-K Programs?

  1. FREE: If your child qualifies, pre-k is free to you, whether they are placed in a private classroom, one in the Cumberland County Schools, or at a Head Start location.
  2. Early Learning: Pre-K programs introduce children to basic concepts in reading, writing, and math, setting the stage for future academic success.
  3. Social Development: Children learn to interact with peers, follow instructions, and develop important social skills in a structured environment.
  4. Qualified Teachers: Our pre-k programs are led by certified teachers who are dedicated to nurturing young minds.
  5. Parental Involvement: We encourage parents to be active participants in their child’s education, fostering a strong home-school connection.

For School Year 24/25, the child’s birth date must
fall between 9/1/2019 and 8/31/2020.
