Down East Partnership for Children
Scholarship Program
The Coordinated Subsidy Program of the Down East Partnership for Children offers two types of opportunities for parents and families that will allow their children access to high quality early childhood education and child care through the DEPC’s Scholarship Program and NC Pre-Kindergarten Program.
Our Scholarship Program is funded by Smart Start and was designed to ensure that families could receive financial assistance to access quality early care and education before entering kindergarten. Through this program, children become better prepared, healthy and ready to succeed.
Preparing for Kindergarten
Going to kindergarten is one of the most important events in your child’s life. It can be exciting as you and your child anticipate going to “big school.” But it can also be a time of less than happy feelings.
You may feel sad because your child is growing up and worry about the changes that are coming. You may even feel uncertain about your new role as the parent of a school-age child. Your child may be sad about leaving familiar teachers and friends and may worry about the unknown. “What happens at big school? Where will I go to the bathroom? Will my friends be there? Who will be my teacher?”
