Posted on 07.16.2019, Tuesday

The school year is right around the corner, but there is still time to register your child for Pre-K. July 27th the Partnership is holding a final “Application Blitz Day” in an effort to register more 4-year-olds for Pre-K in Durham County. The Blitz will take place at 1201 S. Briggs Ave. Suite 210 from 9am-1pm.

You must bring the following required documents:

• Copy of child’s birth certificate
• Proof of current address in Durham County (lease/mortgage or utility statement)
• Proof of ALL household income, child support, SSI/A, etc.

DID YOU KNOW

Reports from the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute (FPG) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows that NC pre-kindergarten has produced learning gains for children that can last well into elementary school.

At the end of kindergarten, the children who participated in NC Pre-K had better math skills and executive functioning skills, which help students regulate themselves and perform better in school. Low-income children in the program also went on to score better on language and math end-of-grade tests in third grade, compared to poor children who weren’t in the program.

“With the new expansions more seats are available to all children in Durham County.”
