- Title I:
- To be considered for Title I, families must apply by JUNE 12, 2026. However, families can still apply using the same universal application for NC Pre-K and Head Start to be considered for both free programs. NC Pre-K and Head Start serve eligible low-income families. Enrollment for NC Pre-K and Head Start is rolling. Children can apply or enter the program at any point during the year.
- Please be aware that Title I is different from public kindergarten and grade school – sadly, the program is not large enough to accommodate all eligible children. Children are placed based on who has the greatest academic need. NOT first come, first served.
- NC Pre-K & Head Start: Enrollment is rolling which means that children can apply and enter the program at any point during the year depending on vacancies.
