2025-26 federal grant information presented to Virginia Beach School Board

The Virginia Beach School Board received information about proposed federal grant applications at its May 13 meeting. For the 2025-26 school year, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) would receive approximately $21.6 million in formula grant funds through programs authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).

Preschool Program

The Technical and Career Center Preschool program is for children ages 3-5 years old who live in Virginia Beach. The preschool operates under the supervision of two high school teachers at the Center.

Students in 11th and 12th grade who attend the Early Childhood Education class at the Technical and Career Center act as teacher assistants in the preschool. The high school students learn about early childhood education and work in the preschool to implement developmentally appropriate lessons and activities.

Creative Curriculum is used in our preschool. It is play-based and features centers such as dramatic play, science, art, sensory, block building and circle time. We serve a daily snack and go outside for large motor activities on two playgrounds. The Tech Center Preschool is open to the public. Up to twenty children are accepted for each of the two sessions (morning or afternoon).
