More Information
Families are able to indicate their site preferences in the second stage of the application process. The list of sites you will see in your application's preference task is based on your family’s eligibility. If your child is eligible for a DPS classroom, you will be able to indicate general preference for a DPS site but cannot select individual DPS sites.
The Durham PreK application does not include the Morehead and George Watts Magnet School preschools or the Mangum Elementary three-year-old program. For more information on these programs, visit the DPS website.
Before and After School Care
Before and After School Care (also known as Wrap Around Care) is a separate service from preschool and is neither guaranteed at every facility nor free. DSS Vouchers and Early Years Scholarships can sometimes help to cover the cost of Before and After School Care for qualifying families. To learn more, you can watch the videos below.
For more information about Early Years Scholarships or to see if you may be eligible, please call 919-403-6950 and ask to speak to the next available Scholarship Specialist or send an email to familyscholarship@earlyyearsnc.org.
