MECK Pre-K,

601 East 5th Street, Charlotte, NC 28202

"Meck Pre-K is such an amazing program! Not only did it teach my daughter the fundamentals, independence and prepared her for kindergarten - it was a free program. We are so thankful for this program, the amazing teachers and all of the support staff."

"I can say, I absolutely love meck pre-k. My kid has elevated in learning what she needs to know before going to kindergarten. The teachers are patient and caring. I definitely recommend them ."

"1) Affordable childcare allowed me and my husband to keep our jobs. We appreciate the county and all private and public partners contributing to the sustainability of the program. 2) The facility we were assigned to through the program great. Clean and safe. In a good neighborhood. 3) The teachers clearly cared a lot about the students. I never feared abuse was occurring on campus. Sometimes, the relationship between teachers and parents was unnecessarily tense or distant. I wish we could have resolved that barrier. 4) The requirements of the program are clear and outlined in the handbook early on, but they aren't always easy to follow and the repercussions of noncompliance often feel like "threats" as opposed to offers of assistance/support. 5) There were few opportunities for parents to meet and bond. I wish there had been something like a PTA to provide a regular touchpoint for building community."

"Meck prek is an awesome free program that will prepare your child for kindergarten. This program is a great opportunity for kids that have never been in a school setting-daycare- get a chance to become accumulated to other students and the routine of school. My son learned alot and loved his teachers. They did an awesome job this school year!"

"Absolutely wonderful program. We’ve had just the best experience for our 5 year old in preparing him for Kindergarten. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers and staff who make it all happen!"
