Multi-Arts Preschool
For over 40 years, families have trusted Arts Together for their child’s preschool experience, offering the area's only arts-integrated curriculum designed to meet NC Foundations for Early Learning and the National Core Arts Standards.
Through small classes with low student-to-teacher ratios, children gain confidence in their unique abilities and explore their own creativity and developing sense of self-expression.
-
Our arts-based curriculum builds a strong foundation for learning by using art, drama, music and dance/movement alongside other interactive, educational activities such as science, math, literacy and language. These enriching classroom experiences promote cognitive, social, emotional and physical growth in our students. Outdoor time is also part of each day, weather permitting.
The Multi-Arts Preschool program begins August 31, 2026 and runs through May 21, 2027. Families may choose between 5-Half Day Plus Afternoon Care and 5-Half Day Preschool.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to our unique space, ALL children must be potty trained. Young 3’s are eligible for our Half Day and Lunch Bunch. Children ages 3 ½ to 5 are eligible for Half Day Plus Afternoon Care.
If you have any further questions or would like to schedule a tour, please email us at lauren@artstogether.org or call 919-828-1713 ext. 103.
