How is it going?

NC Pre-K continues to perform very well across all sites, with enrollment exceeding this time last year and programs operating at 97% capacity. Site monitoring has been completed successfully, showing that all locations are maintaining exceptional standards and remain fully compliant with NC Pre-K requirements, reflecting a strong commitment to high-quality early childhood education and continuous improvement. The online application system has also been a major strength, streamlining enrollment by reducing paperwork, clearly identifying missing documentation, and making the process more efficient for both families and staff. While recruiting and retaining qualified teachers remains a challenge due to limited availability of credentialed candidates, programs are actively pursuing multiple recruitment strategies to address staffing needs while continuing to uphold program quality and compliance.
