When it comes to preparing your child for success, the data is clear: high quality early learning makes a lasting difference.

Recent data from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools shows that MECK Pre-K graduates performed better on the district’s Kindergarten literacy assessments than the district average. This is powerful evidence that MECK Pre-K is doing exactly what it was designed to do—prepare children for a strong start in school and beyond.

When you picture a Pre-K classroom, you might think of story time, playtime, and lots of colorful artwork—but did you know that pre-K students are also learning critical thinking skills? In high quality pre-K early learning programs like MECK Pre-K, children build more than just social skills—they also begin developing the ability to think critically, solve problems, and make thoughtful decisions.
