Please come see what we're all about!
Our emphasis at Mount Baker Preschool is on the whole child: Body, Mind and Soul. We are committed to developing the creative, nurturing, and cognitive capabilities of our students.
In our daily schedule and interactions, Mount Baker Preschool strives to nurture:
- Love and warmth
- Free, imaginative play
- Care for the environment and awareness of our interaction with the world around us
- Gratitude, reverence and wonder
As a cooperative, the teacher designs and implements the curriculum, and parents work to support her in creating an environment where our children are free to learn, explore, and play safely. We believe young children learn best when they are given the opportunity to play freely, explore, and direct their own learning. Working parents and the teacher provide a general structure, model empathy, assist with transitions, aid in conflict resolution, and emphasize the process of inquiry.

Application process for 2019-2020 school year will start in mid January. We offer a mixed age program for children aged 3-5 years old. Families may choose from three, four, or five day programs from 9am – 1pm. Fridays are reserved for older children (4 or 5 years old). The school year follows Seattle Public Schools calendar (September – June). Applicants should be 3 or 3+ years old when they are enrolling. September birthdays will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
**Please note that these are not drop-in sessions, but actual programs that you would need to attend one of, in its entirety, to begin the enrollment process. Children may attend the tours/information sessions, if you think they will be able to draw quietly and entertain themselves. Otherwise, you may want to arrange childcare.**
