Program areas at Lenoir-Greene County Partnership for Children
North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten (NC Pre-K) - The purpose of this program is to provide a quality educational experience to prepare children for success in kindergarten. The program standards are built on the belief that to be successful in school, children need to be prepared in five areas: health and physical development, social and emotional development, approaches toward learning, language development and communication, and cognition and general knowledge. The NC Pre-K Program seeks to prepare children in each of these areas by utilizing teachers who are specially trained to teach four-year-olds. The teachers use developmentally appropriate toys and activities, as well as curriculum designed for kindergarten readiness. Families must apply and be determined eligible based on guidelines provided by the state. 298 children were served.
Quality Child Care to Support Literacy and Preschool to Support Literacy - These activities were founded on the Even Start Family Literacy model. These activities concentrate on providing quality early childhood classroom services to preschool age children who have parents or guardians who do not have a high school diploma or GED, do not speak English and/or require additional job skills to succeed. All children enrolled in these classrooms must meet child care subsidy requirements as these are considered dual subsidy activities. The Quality Child Care to Support Literacy program (Lenoir County) and the Preschool to Support Literacy program (Greene County) served 11 children through funding provided by the Partnership.
Three School - This high quality preschool is designed to prepare three-year olds for success in school and beyond. The program model is set by NC Pre-K. Classroom sites are located in Lenoir and Greene counties in private child care centers and public schools. 69 children were served.
