Prekindergarten

Being ready to learn helps kids get the most out of school. The N.C. Pre-K program serves four-year-old children who are at risk of falling behind their peers as they prepare for kindergarten. Thanks to lottery funds, 24 children in Moore County received a free, academic pre-school experience last year.

School Construction
