Pre-Kindergarten

 

 

 

 

Craven County Schools offers an Inclusive Pre-Kindergarten Program.  It is funded through the state NC Pre-Kindergarten, federal Title 1, the Exceptional Childrens Preschool Program, and our local Craven Smart Start.  Pre-K is offered at no cost to eligible families. All children must be determined eligible according to the pre-kindergarten program guidelines. Children must be 4 years old on or before August 31st of the current year and children may have an Individual Education Plan (IEP).

The program is located in several of our elementary schools, local Head Start sites, and private child care centers.

Two young children, a boy and a girl, are playing together in what appears to be a classroom or daycare setting. The boy is wearing a black t-shirt with a graphic design, while the girl is wearing a red jacket. The background includes various educational materials and furniture, suggesting an educational or childcare environment.
