Information about Eligibility. The families enrolled in The Learning Collaborative Preschool and Family Support & Involvement programs must be a good fit with our mission. For this reason, a targeted approach is used in selecting families. Priority is placed on under-served children from low income families. TLC is specially focused on first serving the children and families of the Grier Heights community in which we are located.
TLC screens all potential families using NC Pre-K application guidelines for income eligibility and service priority status. We enroll those who demonstrate the greatest need and can fulfill family requirements. We seek to enroll families who, in general, are facing significant barriers to school readiness, such as living in a low income household, no high school or GED achieved by parents, maternal age <18, substandard housing, inadequate transportation, lack of access to high-quality preschool, and children with potential developmental delays.
Personal interviews are a necessary and important part of the application process.
We offer a literacy-rich, loving, and nurturing environment with dedicated and degreed teachers to prepare children for their educational journey.
At TLC, we serve 72 children annually in our classrooms for two-year olds, three-year olds, and NC Pre-Kindergarten for four-year olds.
To be eligible for the NC Pre-K program, children must:
