Welcome to Pre-K

Our Mission

Wilkes County Schools' Pre-K program seeks to prepare children for school success by providing high-quality early childhood education that is based on the research of child development.

The Wilkes County Pre-K program is based on a foundation that will:  

provide an environment that is child-centered, and that encourages learning through discovery and exploration;

• recognize that children differ in rates of development, backgrounds, and experiences;
• establish a partnership between parents and school staff that supports children throughout the total school experience;
• allow children to learn fundamental skills through children's own experiences, manipulatives, and other concrete materials;
• respect play for its value as an appropriate learning medium for children;
• provide activities and lessons designed to strengthen each child's ability to cope in an ever-changing world;
• be based on research that indicates how young children develop and learn best.
