Nurturing Critical Thinking & Social-Emotional Skills

We offer nurturing care based on self-discovery through science, math, language and art, and believe play-based learning is a solid path to the development of critical thinking skills.

About Us

Our school seeks to inspire young children to embrace their innate curiosity about the world around them and to experience the natural joy of exploration and play within safe, beautiful, and rich environments. Our caring and professional community of educators implement an integrated science-based curriculum that promotes independence, problem-solving skills and social-emotional competence. We work in partnership with families to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and lasting connections.

Our School has been caring for children in King County for over 50 years!
