2026 Garden Party 🌱✨

Thank you to all the families who made time to join us for our annual Garden Party! This special community event is an opportunity for families to connect while allowing our students to experience the beauty of community in action. It truly takes a village 🌟

This year’s scavenger hunt gave students the chance to proudly show off their knowledge of the plants and gardens around our yard — identifying yarrow, mullein, beets, borage, raspberry bushes, apple trees, and more. Families enjoyed bubbles, soccer, planting activities, potluck treats, playdate planning, and meaningful conversations that help grow long-lasting connections within our community.

Thank you for helping us create such a joyful and connected day together 💚✨

Child care is already stretched to the breaking point.

Families are struggling with rising costs. Providers are operating on razor-thin margins. Now lawmakers are considering cuts to Working Connections Child Care (WCCC) while advancing 2SHB 1128—new oversight without a sustainable funding plan.

This approach risks:
• Higher tuition
• Fewer child care slots
• Longer waitlists

Washington doesn’t have a regulation problem. It has an investment problem.

📢 Tell lawmakers to prioritize funding solutions. Vote NO on 2SHB 1128.

Muddy, Slushy Morning ❄️
Read below & join our waitlist today~

✨These child-led, nature-based experiences nurture self-regulation, social-emotional growth, and critical thinking—the foundational skills children carry with them into kindergarten and beyond.

During dramatic play, children sorted through family roles while creating “mud slush soup,” strengthening language development, symbolic thinking, and executive function as they negotiated roles, shared ideas, and sustained imaginative play.

As students worked together to build a snowman, they practiced collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. When the structure fell apart due to too much sand, children demonstrated cognitive flexibility and resilience, adapting their approach and learning through trial and error.

Later, the group gathered dead plant material to create a play fire for cooking in the play house. This experience supported environmental literacy and scientific thinking as we identified weeds to leave and weeds to cut, discussed soil stability, and explored safe, effective ways to gather materials. Throughout, children engaged in cooperative planning, fine and gross motor development, and real-world decision making.

✨ Interested in learning more or joining our community? Our waitlist is now open. We invite families who value play-based, nature-rooted learning to add their name today.

Weather as Curriculum ❄️

While building an igloo-style snow fort, children in our program learned many things in the process:
🧊 Explored math and spatial reasoning through counting and stacking snow blocks
🧊 Strengthened language and cognitive skills by listening to and following shared directions
🧊 Practiced prosocial skills through collaboration and peer mentorship

As part of our anti-bias, land- and place-based learning, we discussed how some Indigenous peoples of the Arctic traditionally build igloos to live safely and warmly in cold climates—highlighting human ingenuity, shared community knowledge through generations, and adaptation to place as ways of living in relationship with the environment, honoring many ways of knowing, building, and belonging.

Nearly 100 snow bricks built and laid, together.
