NC Pre-K is a state-funded program administered by the Division of Child Development and Early Education within the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. The program serves eligible four-year-olds in classroom-based educational programs in a variety of settings, including public schools, private child care centers (both for-profit and nonprofit), and Head Start sites (in both public and private facilities). These five types of pre-K settings are explored in more detail in the maps below, which give an overview of the settings used to deliver pre-K in each county and show, for each type of setting, the counties that rely upon it relatively more or less.Source: Adapted from Peisner-Feinberg, E.
