Normandy Park Preschool Program
Did you know that the City of Normandy Park has a preschool program?
For almost 35 years, Normandy Park Preschool has become a place where children grow. As part of this Early Childhood Education program, our staff creates an environment where children can grow and develop into their individual and unique selves. Children can learn about science, math, literacy activities, and children’s art. We strive to cultivate a love for learning while acquiring skills they need to be successful in their lives and educational journeys. Normandy Park Preschool is the best place to be!
The framework of our program is supported by research that children learn through play. We have created a rich environment that respects the developmental stages of the preschool child. In our program, children can explore their interests, move within the continuum of skill level in content areas, and develop in areas that aid in processing information, such as observing, problem-solving, organizing, connecting, and exploring.

If you are interested in your toddler entering the program, the enrollment process for 2025/26 starts soon. For more information on enrollment dates and prices, visit the Normandy Park Preschool Programs.

Honoring our Heroes: Normandy Park’s Blue Star Memorial By-Way. As we prepare to observe Memorial Day this weekend, I’d like to highlight a meaningful tribute in our community: the Blue Star Memorial By-Way in Normandy Park. The Blue Star Program pays tribute to all men and women who serve in the United States Armed Forces. We are proud to be home to one of these memorials in Normandy Park.
