Director's Comments
Question to director: Please list anything you wish parents to be aware of with respect to the application process.
We are a tiny, tiny school. We are in a house on the edge of Leschi Ridge and the Central District. In no way are we going to resemble an institutional early learning center, and that is by design. Our space is only large enough for one class to meet at a time, so if you are desirous of a larger, more spacious environment, you will probably not be happy with our space. If, however, you are looking for intimate, loving care by solid professionals with stellar credentials in a home-like commercial setting, then this might a great fit for you.
We are interested in developing a strong community of parents, caregivers, and children, so we are most interested in developing relationships with individuals interested in the long-term stake of their child's early learning environment: You are committed to having your child build relationships with the same caregiver teachers for 2-3 years; you are interested in building positive frameworks for connecting to other parents and students in that environment; you are interested in a strong community of active and loyal families who you'd like your children to know for a long time.

Being Savvy Today
The Wild Tangle of Grasses
If there was a single photo that could capture my feelings and thoughts about the past year, this would be it. It reminds me to keep looking toward the brightness of the light, even if I am caught in the wild tangle of grasses. This shot reminds me that
Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?
What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
