NC Pre-K
The North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten Program (NC Pre-K) is a preschool program for children who may otherwise not have access to the preschool experience. The part-day program provides preschoolers with curriculum-based, age-appropriate programming that enhances cognitive, social and emotional growth in preparation for elementary school.
Registration for NC Pre-K for the 2021-22 year is happening now! There are 373 available slots in Randolph County for five sites in Asheboro, two in Trinity, and one each in Level Cross, Liberty, Ramseur, and Randleman. To assist families with registration, we are planning drive-through registration events through June. During these events, families can bring applications, pick-up applications, and get questions answered.
DRIVE THROUGH EVENT SCHEDULE:
Tuesday, March 23 from 3-5 PM at Randolph Partnership for Children office, 349 Sunset Ave., Asheboro
Wednesday, April 14 from 10 AM-1 PM at Randolph Partnership for Children office, 349 Sunset Ave., Asheboro
Additional drive-through registration events in Randleman, Liberty, Ramseur, and Seagrove are in the works as well as two more at the Partnership office.
While RPC offices are closed to the public, parents can drop off applications and have copies made of supporting documents on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and on Tuesdays 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Follow the signs to the back of the building to the covered entrance.
