Preschools with Pre-K Classes in Virginia

A pre-K class is the year before kindergarten, built around getting four-year-olds ready for school: letters and numbers, following a routine, and getting along in a group. The Virginia preschools and day care centers below say they run a pre-K, pre-kindergarten or kindergarten-readiness class of their own.

Virginia also funds pre-K through the Virginia Preschool Initiative, for at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds mostly in public schools, and through Mixed Delivery, which places eligible children in private licensed programs for a monthly copayment. Children who turn five by September 30 are eligible for kindergarten. When you call a program, ask how many days a week the class meets, how long the day runs and how it differs from the younger rooms.
