Pre-K Enrollment Information

Norman Public Schools will be offering full-day Pre-K for the 2026-2027 school year at all elementary schools, the Intergenerational Pre-K Program at Grace Skilled Nursing and Therapy, Pre-K at the Center for Arts and Learning, and Pre-K at the Spanish Language Academy.

Building Blocks features both in-class and at-home learning in a hybrid model.

Hours for full-day programs are as follows:

• Pre-K at school sites (including Spanish Language Academy) is held from 7:50 am - 2:50 pm

• Pre-K at the Center for Arts and Learning and Grace's Intergenerational Pre-K Program are held from 8:15 am - 3:15 pm

Additionally, any parent can request that their child attend for a half-day in any of our full-day classes. Half-day hours are from 7:50 - 10:30 am at our school sites and 8:15 - 10:45 am at our off-site classes which include Grace's Intergenerational Pre-K and Pre-K at the Center for Arts and Learning.

Each Pre-K classroom has an educator certified in Early Childhood Education with a maximum class size of 10 students per teacher. Class numbers will be increased only if 15 or more students request enrollment. At 15 students, an aide would be added, and the total class size could range from 15 to 20. No class will have more than 20 students.

Since Pre-K is a voluntary program, TRANSPORTATION IS NOT PROVIDED.

STUDENTS MUST BE FOUR (4) ON OR BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 2026.
