For more information:
  • NPS PRESCHOOL:  Contact Laura Frogameni at earlychildhood@northampton-k12.us for more information.
  • COMMUNITY-BASED PRESCHOOL:  Contact Laura Frogameni at lfrogameni@northampton-k12.us for information about the NPS 5-day CPPI Community Preschool Partnership program with links to local preschools 

Basic information:
  • Children in the Jackson Street or Bridge Street school zones go to the Bridge Street School preschool
  • Children who live in the Ryan Road or Leeds Elementary school zones go to the Leeds Elementary school preschool
  • Children are placed in programs via a lottery system, both for placement in the default 1/2 day program and for placement in a full day program. All applications submitted by March 15 are considered equally in the first round of the lottery. There are rolling admissions after March 15.
  • The School Choice process does not apply for the preschool -- that system only applies for K-12 grades.  Occasionally, if one school program has more spaces and the other school has more applicants, a space at the other school might be offered.

Current Public Preschool Options:
  1. NPS Preschool either at Bridge Street School or Leeds Elementary as described in the Preschool Overview
  2. SPED partnership with private preschools: some private preschools are part of the Preschool Partnership, where children on IEPs can receive instruction at a private preschool with itinerant SPED specialists from the Northampton Public Schools dropping in to provide services onsite.
