Our warm and accepting teaching style helps each child feel secure and comfortable.
At Sammamish Children's School each child will have many opportunities to succeed emotionally, socially, physically and academically.
Our program encourages discovery, exploration, creative learning and problem solving skills.
We want each child to grow in their ability to recognize feelings and to express emotions.
Our program builds on the child's natural sense of wonder as they experience the excitement of creating a picture, building a Lego tower, or the thrill of writing their name for the first time.
Our commitment shows in our well-trained and caring staff, a comprehensive curriculum, a clean environment, and a smile on a child's face.

This is the most amazing school for 1 year olds through Kindergarten. They have a great summer and after school care program. I have three children in this school and wish it went through elementary. The teachers and staff truly care about the children. Well run, well organized and all around spectacular.
