About Project Enlightenment
Project Enlightenment, established in 1969, is a comprehensive early childhood education and early intervention program of the Wake County Public School
System. Project Enlightenment’s approach is to give parents, teachers, and caregivers knowledge and skills to help young children, birth through kindergarten age, be
successful in school and life.
With a focus on development, learning, and social and emotional growth, Project
Enlightenment provides education, consultation, resources, information, and support
to those adults most important in a young child’s life.
Project Enlightenment is funded by the Wake County Public School System, Wake
County Smart Start, contracts, grants, fees and contributions. The program operates
on a traditional school-year calendar with limited services available during July and
August. Our services include:
Teacher Parent Consultation
Project Enlightenment provides consultation in early childhood classrooms for individual children. With parent permission, teachers who have a concern about a
child can contact Project Enlightenment and request the appropriate forms. A
Project Enlightenment consultant will work with the teacher and the parent(s) to
address the child’s needs. These services are available to all public kindergarten
classrooms as well as Wake County residents enrolled in preschool and child care
facilities in Wake County. Call 919-856-7774 for more information.
Developmental Screening
Screening services are available when concerns arise about a child’s development
in areas such as speech, language, and learning. If an area of significant need is
identified, recommendations for intervention or for evaluation can be made.
Parents can make appointments for screening by calling 919-856-7774.
The Alice K. Burrows
Parent/Teacher Resource Center (PTRC)
The PTRC houses a variety of resources, equipment, and materials for parents and
teachers. Resources include a library and video collection of over 10,000 items,
exhibits of various age-appropriate activities, and a Production Area.
Call 919-856-7804 for more information.
Preschool Classrooms for Four-Year-Olds
Project Enlightenment offers two innovative preschool classrooms, the
Demonstration Preschool (DPS) classroom and the Family Literacy Classroom
(FLC).
• The Family Literacy Classroom (FLC), is a Title I pre-kindergarten classroom.
As a full-day program, it emphasizes research-based early literacy practices.
• The Demonstration Preschool (DPS) classroom is an inclusive half-day pre-kindergarten classroom. It serves both children with developmental concerns and
typically developing children.
Through planned observation classes, (see the Guided Preschool Observation section) the two preschool classrooms serve as training centers to help teachers and
child care providers develop positive strategies for enhancing their own classrooms.
Teacher Training
Workshops for early childhood teachers and child care providers are available
throughout the school year. Fees vary according to the number of sessions.
Teacher renewal, child care/CDA/CEU and staff development credits are offered.
Refer to the “About Teacher Workshops” section for further credit information.
