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 Council Meeting Roundup. On Tuesday, December 9th, the Normandy Park City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Below is a summary of key actions and discussions. Approval of the Miller and Walker Creeks Basin Stewardship 2026 Technical Services Agreement – Normandy Park continues to partner with Burien, SeaTac, King County, and the Port of Seattle to protect and improve Miller and Walker Creeks. This agreement hires technical experts to help manage environmental work, improve water quality, support fish and wildlife habitat, and meet the City’s stormwater permit requirements. Approving it allows this shared work to continue. Amendment to the Sunnyside City Jail Interlocal Agreement – The City contracts with the City of Sunnyside for jail services. This amendment changes the daily cost from $64 to $76.59 per person. Even with the increase, Sunnyside remains the most cost-effective option compared to other available jail contracts.
