Kindergarten
Welcome to the beginning of your child’s educational journey!
Kindergarten entry is a time of great excitement and anticipation for the entire family. Here in the Wake County Public School System, kindergarten provides a creative and stimulating environment where children can be excited about learning as they develop new skills. It is the foundation for the rest of the child’s school experience.
Recognizing that parents are the most important people in young children's lives, we encourage you to help your child get ready for the kindergarten experience. This website is designed to provide you with the information and resources you will need as you and your family begin to prepare for this special time in your child’s life.
We are excited to welcome you and your child to the Wake County Public School System family. Your child’s success is our highest priority.
