Early Childhood Education

The Early Childhood Education Program offers preschool classrooms in both public schools and private childcare sites across the county. This variety of placement locations helps our parents make the most convenient choice for classroom placement during the school year. NHCS Early Childhood Program provides services through the NC Pre-K Program, which is a state funded program and through our local New Hanover County commissioners. To enroll your child in preschool, click the apply button below. If you have any issues accessing the application or have general questions, please reach out to our office at 910-254-4173.
