Durham County’s NC Pre-K program is working to provide high-quality early educational experiences for 4-year-olds who are not attending preschool for various reasons. The program is community-based, voluntary, and designed to prepare 4-year-olds for kindergarten. The NC Pre-K program operates in private class rooms, Durham Public Schools, and Head Start.
The Durham County Universal Pre-K Application project is supported in part with funding from Duke’s Doing Good in the Neighborhood giving campaign. This process ensures that at-risk four-year-olds are matched to proper pre-kindergarten education services.
