“Today, I give all the credit to God, Apples of Gold NC Pre-K program, and Ethan’s wonderful teachers. One year ago, I would have never believed Ethan would be where he is at today. He is where he is because of the NC-Pre K program and all that this program provides for him. All that this program teaches him. All that this program does to help get kids ready to enter into Kindergarten. I will always be forever grateful for all the NC-Pre K program has to offer and I will recommend it to anyone. My child is a true testimony of how far you come from being in this program and how much you truly learn from being a part of it. I will also add that Ethan has the two best teachers God could have ever blessed him with. They both truly love their kids and put their whole heart into teaching these kids and seeing them grow and achieve all their goals. Thank you NC-Pre K for helping my child come so far and molding him into the child he is today. ”

“Because my girls are in EHS, I have been able to work and attend college. Since my girls have been in the program I have earned my Associate degree in Art from CCC. My girls have developed an interest in books and learning.”

“I have seen my child grow and develop in so many positive ways through the NC Pre-K program this year. She has learned both valuable social and intrapersonal skills as shes navigated the dynamics of meeting and learning new relationships over the year. I have seen her grow in confidence with creativity, language expression, and has exhibited a driving interest in early reading and writing skills. NC Pre K has been an invaluable asset to preparing her for Kindergarten next year and we are so grateful we made the choice to start her off on the right path with this program.”
