A flexible preschool-experience with 3-hours of care, learning, activity and socialization.
The Playdate Plus program, a partnership program between The Seattle Preschool + Pre-K and Seattle Gymnastics Academy, is available as a single-day session when it fits your schedule and needs. Sessions include both classroom time and gymnastics.
Is it your in-office workday and you need some childcare? A block of time to run errands or attend appointments? Or want a slower introduction / no-commitment approach to Preschool? Playdate Plus is a flexible program that is there when you need it, whatever you may need it for. A fully supervised, Teacher-led program, each session is a preschool experience, including over two-hours in our classroom for exploration and self-led play as well as teacher-led activities and project time; plus gym time (gymnastics, games, movement) to connect the brain and body (and burn energy!) – and of course, lots of fun throughout!
Children will benefit from social interaction with peers and a new adult figure, get comfortable being away from parents and become excited about school!
Enroll in a single-day session when it fits your schedule and needs – no further commitment.
