The NC Pre-K program is designed to provide at-risk four-year-old children with an opportunity for a quality preschool education. This state-funded, part-day program provides young children with access to a specific curriculum and preschool experience to enhance their school readiness. Top priorities for enrollment are children who have not had a previous child care experience; those who are from low-income families that are eligible for Head Start or free and reduced school-lunches; children with special needs; or Spanish-speaking children.
Durham PreK improves the quality of preschool programs in Durham County by providing financial support and training opportunities for teachers while increasing eligibility and accessibility for families to enroll their children. Some child care centers and a few homes offer their own forms of financial assistance to families. Child Care Referral Central has information about which programs provide this assistance.
However, if your child is enrolled in a center or a family child care home, do not hesitate to ask if they can provide you with some assistance. Some employers offer child care tuition assistance or Flexible Spending Accounts as part of their benefits package. A Flexible Spending Account FSA is an agreement where your employer sets aside the amount you pay for child care before calculating deductions from your paycheck.
Therefore, that portion of your income is not taxed. After paying your child care bills, you submit a claim to your FSA administrator, who reimburses you with your own pre-tax dollars. Employers may also allow you to apply pre-tax benefit dollars directly to your child care expenses, or have arrangements for discounted rates with partnering child care programs.
Families can call a child care hotline to find child care programs that have available spaces to care for children from infants up to age Flyers are available to provide more information about the hotline in English and Spanish.
