Kindergarten School Search

In accordance with Session Law 2021-117, DCDEE has created the Kindergarten School Search tool which allows for families to access the following information:

− The educational opportunities for kindergarten offered by Public Schools

− The educational opportunities for kindergarten offered by Charter Schools

− The educational opportunities for kindergarten offered by Private Schools

− Scholarship information for Private Schools

This information is searchable by school name/school type, as well as by county, city, and/or zip code and results may be printed or saved as needed.

Upon request, a facility participating in the NC Pre-K program must provide families with a list of the educational opportunities located in the same county as the NC Pre-K facility, or, if specified, any other county.

At a minimum, this information will be updated by June 1st each year.
