North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten Classrooms

The North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten (NCPK) classrooms in the Tyndall Center provide a specialized educational program for 36 at-risk four-year-olds. These children receive extra help, support, and attention to ensure their readiness for kindergarten and success later in school. The NCPK program is a statewide initiative which is funded through Smart Start. Sipe's is the only private provider of NCPK classrooms in Catawba County.

With bright and spacious classrooms, inviting playground, books, games, special activities, and the resources of Sipe's rural campus, the NCPK teachers engage the children in a variety of educational experiences throughout the day. Children learn social, behavioral, academic, and problem solving skills whether they are gathering for a snack, riding tricycles, listening to a story, painting, or walking to the barn.
