The SPS Way
Our daily classroom practices and programming objectives are designed to support the program’s philosophy and the established long-term goals. We respect and believe that each child is a unique individual with the ability to construct knowledge about themselves, others and the world around them. Our educational philosophy is supported not only through the curriculum but by the teachers, coaches and families involved in the program as active role models for all of our students.
Our mission:
Seattle Preschool + Pre-K is dedicated to a program that nurtures and supports both students and their families, and creates an environment that allows them to learn, grow and become prepared for the years ahead.
