Norfolk Collegiate Pre-Kindergarten Program

A Preschool With More to Offer

Norfolk Collegiate is the premier Pre-K through Grade 12 independent school in Hampton Roads. We understand the importance of educating the whole child in early childhood development. Our mission to create critical thinkers, doers and explorers begins in our Pre-K classrooms.

Our Pre-Kindergarten 3 and 4 programs offers a dynamic jump-start into the academic world through purposeful play and innovative teacher-led and student-led activities. Our young students learn to question, explore, think and solve problems. And for the same cost as area preschools, our students enjoy our extensive facilities, plus meals and extended care at no additional cost!
