Curriculum
Seattle’s Progressive Preschool embraces a play-based curriculum. Preschool children learn many social skills, such as sharing, taking turns, and conflict resolution, through play. These skills are critical to their educational success. Children who master these skills before kindergarten entry are able to focus on the increasingly academic nature of the early elementary school curriculum.
This play-based curriculum is balanced with more structured activities, giving children a good balance of educational approaches. Additionally, parents help to select a different classroom social justice or environmental theme each month, along with reinforcing service activities.
SPP’s goal is to give children a positive first experience with school, fostering a love of learning. Activities also help to develop independence and self-esteem, social skills, and cognitive, large and fine motor skills, all while fostering a commitment to social justice and the environment.
