The NC Pre-K program offers a high-quality early learning experience to help four-year-olds build the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond. Designed to support children’s overall development, the program focuses on important areas like early learning, social skills, and communication.

NC Pre-K classrooms provide a structured, supportive environment with qualified teachers, small class sizes, and engaging, research-based curriculum. Children in the program benefit from hands-on learning, opportunities for social interaction, and activities that promote growth in language, problem-solving, and motor skills.

By participating in NC Pre-K, children get a strong foundation that prepares them for success in school. See below for upcoming dates and requirements.  Appointments Required! To schedule an appointment contact Julie Brigman at 910.582.7908 or juliebrigman@richmond.k12.nc.us.
