Preschool

  • Acceptance into the Norfolk Public Schools’ preschool program is based upon the following requirements:

    • Residency: You must provide proof that you and your child are residents of the city of Norfolk. (Mortgage statement, lease agreement, or current utility bill with your current address listed)
    • Age: Your child must be age 3 or 4 by September 30 of the school year for which you are applying to enroll.
    • Program-related eligibility criteria: The Commonwealth of Virginia sets the criteria for preschool admission based upon pre-determined risk factors that may apply to you, your child, and/or your household. In order for your child to qualify for preschool, you must complete a Family Data Sheet indicating all potential risk factors, and you must be prepared to submit required verification documents.
