Preschool Open House!!
Join Us on January 27th 12:30-2:00
Welcome!
Our mission is to provide appropriate play and learning experiences that contribute to the intellectual, emotional and physical growth of each child; prepare them for future learning and school success; and confirm that all children are filled with dignity, goodness, and have incredible potential for discovery, education and development.
Children explore language, the arts, science, math and more in thoughtfully created and age-appropriate learning centers. Daily teacher-led and theme-based activities enhance the offerings in the learning centers. All of this combined with our atmosphere of security, acceptance and caring enables the intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth to take place that builds a strong foundation for a life long love of learning.
As part of a parent-run cooperative preschool, parents participate in their children's education and contribute their talents for the benefit of the business side of the preschool - keeping vocational skills fresh or learning something new. Because the preschool is part of Bellevue College's Parent Education Program, parents have the additional benefit of receiving classes on parenting tailored to their needs and interests included in the already low tuition for the preschool.

| "It's the work of kids to play.' When young children get caught up in today's stress-filled, study saturated environment, they lose their love of learning. 'And that love of learning is what will help them be strong in academics throughout their lives.'" -- Debbie Kray, Director of Education at the Chidren's Museum of Tacoma.
