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.

City Manager Report – February 21, 2025
The City is looking for nominations for its Heritage Tree Program. As we prepare for our upcoming Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 26, 2025, the City wants to encourage residents to nominate significant trees for the City’s Heritage Tree Program. Trees are a vital asset to any community, and Normandy Park has embraced this value. Based on the 2018 Tree Canopy Survey from King Conservation District, Normandy Park has 740 acres, or 46%, of tree canopy. This is one of the highest percentages in King County. To celebrate, promote, preserve, and educate the public about this great asset, the city has established a Heritage Tree Program.
Annual Citizen Satisfaction Survey
We strive to provide the best service possible to Normandy Park residents. To achieve this level of excellence, we are asking for your participation in the Annual Citizen Satisfaction Survey. Your feedback will help us better understand what services are important to you and what areas need more attention, so please take a few minutes to complete this survey. Your voice matters.
