Seattle, WA
Baker Language and Learning Center

Our preschool is based on a variety of methods, from Montessori to Reggio Emilia. We believe that a solid marriage of both emergent, child-centered curricula and theme-based, teacher-led activities creates an ideal environment for positive outcomes. The children are encouraged to explore and create on their own, and then are given the opportunity to create in a more defined manner. We also have high standards in developing a developmentally and culturally appropriate program, as one cannot exist without the other. We encourage families from all walks of life, socioeconomic status, and family systems to apply.
