The Seattle Preschool Program offers high-quality, affordable preschool to children across the City of Seattle.
Accessible and Affordable
Our goal is to make quality preschool affordable for all. We provide free or affordable tuition for families to attend preschool in high quality classrooms run by Seattle Public Schools and community-based organizations across the city.
High Quality
Our goal is to ensure our classrooms are high-quality and continue to improve. We use evidence-based curriculum and promote culturally responsive, engaging, and nurtuting adult/child interactions to create quality learning environments.
Equitable
Our goal is to eliminate the racially disproportionate kindergarten readiness gap. Our approach is to support teachers to meet the needs of all children through student-focused coaching, ongoing curriculum training and data analysis that uses a racial equity lens.
