Inglemoor Cooperative Preschool in Kirkland

Our purpose is to educate children and adults, to form a community of families wherein friendship and support develop, and to contribute to our greater community. We strive to encourage each person involved in family life to think through and develop a personal, comfortable, meaningful philosophy regarding family relationships.

We believe in establishing a developmentally
appropriate environment with hands-on
activities based on the learning levels of the
children. These activities are chosen to
stimulate social, emotional, cognitive, physical
and aesthetic growth in our children as they
learn through play.

We believe play is the work of children, and
make learning fun and open to discovery and
manipulation. We foster an encouraging and
supportive environment where both children
and adults have the freedom to grow and
learn together.
