Fostering Your Child's Intellectual Growth

Young children possess remarkable receptivity to learning. At South Preschool, we champion the importance of early education, as it grants young minds ample time to adapt to their ever-changing surroundings.

Our educational philosophy revolves around enveloping your child in a comprehensive learning environment, treating them as a holistic entity. This approach ensures they are better prepared for their educational journey ahead. South Preschool, in collaboration with our dedicated educators, aims to lay the foundation for your child to thrive at their own pace, providing them with the essential tools for holistic development.

Our primary focus is nurturing the emotional, social, and intellectual facets of each child. Since 1975, our team has consistently delivered top-tier care to children in and around Burien, WA, solidifying our reputation as one of the foremost preschools in the area.

Additionally, we have established a stringent illness policy to safeguard the well-being of all our young learners, requiring sick children to stay home when unwell.

For more information on our commitment to early education and how South Preschool aligns with pre-K programs, please feel free to reach out to us. We are dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering their growth in a nurturing environment.

At our core, we are driven by a clear purpose:

• Instilling emotional resilience in your child, fostering a positive self-image, and facilitating seamless transitions from the comforts of home into a structured educational environment.

• Cultivating your child's social acumen, empowering them to navigate a broader spectrum of interactions with their peers.

• Stimulating intellectual growth by encouraging problem-solving skills and building a strong foundation for future success.

• Nurturing creativity by offering abundant opportunities for your child to express themselves through enriching sensory experiences.
