What is NC Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K)? 

The Caswell County NC Pre-K Program provides social emotional and educational opportunities to promote Kindergarten readiness for eligible 4 year-old children.  The program is FREE.  NC Pre-K classrooms operate at least 6.5 hours per day, Monday through Friday, from late August – June.  You only need to submit one NC Pre-K application to be considered for all possible sites.  Space is limited and some children may be placed on a wait list, so early submission of the application is encouraged.

Should I apply?  In order to be eligible for the Caswell County NC Pre-K Program, your child must be:

• 4 years old on or before August 31

• A resident of Caswell County

Income eligible children are given priority and are served first.  Other factors that may be used to determine if your child is eligible include:

• Have an identified developmental disability or chronic health condition

• Reside in foster care

• Receive any of the following: WIC, public housing, TANF/Work First, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Food Stamps, SNAP

• Speak limited or no English in the home
