Abstract:

In September 1973, 16,000 five-year-olds entered schools across North Carolina to start kindergarten, thus beginning a new era in the state's system of free public education. In 1968, North Carolina was one of only three states which maintained no state-supported public kindergartens of any sort. This article contains information on the development of the state's kindergarten program.
