Nash County Public Schools is the proud home of two 5 star preschool facilities on the campuses of Nash Central High School and Northern Nash High School. The Children’s Centers are open to the public and follow the traditional school calendar as designated by the Nash County Public School System. Both centers operate daily from 6:45 AM to 5:30 PM. 

The Children’s Centers provide quality child care for children ages three and four as they prepare to transition to kindergarten. Additionally, both centers are designed to support our Career and Technical Education Early Childhood Program by providing high school students with educational experiences interacting with preschool-age children. The students work as interns while completing their coursework and have the opportunity to earn industry-recognized credentials while in high school. Many of our students continue on to become Early Childhood Educators.

Our children benefit from an exciting and structured learning environment while engaging in the “Creative Curriculum” that has been adopted by Nash County Public Schools. In addition to the daily curriculum, our students have the opportunity to participate in weekly enrichment activities including, but not limited to: 

  • Art and Crafts

  • Music and Singing

  • Dramatic Play

  • Creative Movement

  • Storytime in the media center

  • Multicultural Experiences

We are dedicated to ensuring that our families are supported and remain connected to our school community. Family enrichment activities are held monthly to celebrate and showcase student success and to sustain the support and continuity of our school families.
