Seattle Preschool – LOVE…LEARN…GROW 

The Path To Elementary School Starts Here!

At Seattle Preschool + Pre-K we offer developmentally appropriate programs with specialized curriculum for children 2 to 6 years old. Our School Readiness based programming provides multiple options that allow you to find the right fit for your child. We emphasize a comprehensive approach that supports child development from all angles; physically, socially, emotionally and academically. We believe in the importance of a program that closes the gap between home and elementary school, and supports your child for a long road of future academic success.

Each classroom provides a multi-age setting that imparts daily opportunities for peer helping and self-paced development. The curriculum focuses on empathy, emotion management and problem-solving skills. Our goal is to provide students with a foundation for meeting life’s challenges with independence and confidence.

Philosophy

At Seattle Preschool, we believe in a balanced blend of self-directed play and teacher-led instruction. We utilize both play and physical activity as a medium through which children can develop their social awareness, emotion-management skills and strengthen their mind-body connection. We incorporate research-based curriculum to further support each child’s social-emotional and academic growth.

  • Each day consists of projects and activities inspired by the world around us.
  • Circle time offers the students an opportunity to participate in group discussions, share ideas, gain confidence and build community connection.
  • The multi-age setting imparts daily opportunities for peer cooperation and self-paced development.
  • The Pre-K Program is for students who will be entering Kindergarten the following year. The classroom structure and design allow for a smooth transition between Preschool and Elementary School. The program offers a 5hr day and a full week schedule. The curriculum focuses on peer leadership, Kindergarten Readiness and beginning literacy.

Our staff has developed an integrated approach to theme-based curriculum that nurtures curiosity, and supports exploration and individualized growth. Our goal is to provide students with a foundation for meeting life’s challenges with independence and confidence.

At Seattle Preschool we believe in the importance of a well-rounded approach to your child’s education. Each day the teachers utilize theme-based topics and lessons along with research-based curriculum. Our themes follow a logical, nature inspired progression that inspires ideas and encourages children to explore their community, their families and their world with unlimited curiosity.

Second Step

A social-emotional curriculum that helps, “little learners harness their energy and potential by teaching them to listen, pay attention, control their behavior, and get along with others. When students enter kindergarten with the self-regulation and social-emotional skills taught in the research-based Second Step program, they’re set up for success.”

Growing Up Wild

Through a wide range of activities and experiences, Growing Up WILD provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about the natural world and lifelong social and academic skills.”
