Programs
Rooms to grow into
Small, age-based groups — each with its own space, pace, and daily rhythm. Follow the path through each room.
18–30 months
Toddlers
Gentle first steps into school: sensory play, songs, and lots of one-on-one warmth in a small group.
2–3 years
Twos
Busy hands and big feelings: art, blocks, and early friendships with plenty of outdoor time.
3–4 years
Threes
Imagination takes off: storytelling, dramatic play, early counting, and growing independence.
4–5 years
Pre-K
Kindergarten readiness with joy: letters, numbers, projects, and the confidence to try new things.
Our approach
Warm days, real learning
We believe young children learn best through play, warm relationships, and days that feel safe and predictable. Our classrooms are calm, welcoming places where curiosity leads the way.
Teachers observe each child closely and plan activities that stretch growing skills — language, movement, friendship, and independence — one small step at a time.
Our space
The real Rainier, right from our deck
Our story starts with a view you can actually see. Here's what our classrooms and grounds really look like.
On a clear day, Mount Rainier rises straight across the lake — the same view woven into every illustration on this site, just outside the door where the kids play and eat lunch.
