About Us

Carteret Preschool Center is a warm and welcoming school of approximately 60 children, who are served by an exceptional staff that becomes part of their family. We serve students from all over Carteret County through an application and screening process. We have six classrooms. Many of the children at CPC are NC Pre-k students. All of our classrooms have a teacher and a minimum of one teacher assistant. There is no fee for any students at our school. The mission of Carteret Preschool Center is to enhance the education of all children while guiding them towards their highest potential.

Thank You, Big Rock!

Carteret Preschool Center extends its sincere gratitude to the Big Rock Foundation for its ongoing generosity and steadfast support. Over the years, the Big Rock Foundation has made a significant impact on our school, including the award of a $20,000 grant in 2022 and a $17,500 grant in 2024. These generous contributions have enabled us to enhance our preschool playground with new ADA-compliant play structures, ensuring a more inclusive and engaging environment for all children. We are deeply appreciative of the Big Rock Foundation’s commitment to our children and community. The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament
