Here at we are a family. Thank you to everyone who came out for our second winter hike of the year! We had a blast hiking the woods in our neighborhood where we gathered nature treasures for an art project and enjoyed a snack all together by a beautiful stream. Our little community is all about building strong families through the gathering and fostering of relationships between caregivers, students and teachers alike. We are stronger together! Next field trip on the schedule? A visit to the Pacific Science Center! Stay tuned and if you’re curious about registering your kiddo for our program check the link in bio!

Families here at and beyond “are facing the heartbreaking loss of the Bellevue College Parent Education Program due to a looming budget proposal. For 60 years, this program has been a cornerstone for many in our community, offering invaluable resources for parents and children alike. For countless families, it provides the dual gift of parent education with early childhood education opportunities that include parent-infant classes, wobbler, toddler, co-op preschool experiences, creative arts and science labs, Family Inventors’ Lab, STEM Summer Camps and classes on positive discipline and ESL.”

“Countless families in the greater Seattle region, have relied on this program as a lifeline. The lessons learned here are not merely academic; they are life changing. They offer parents the tools to engage effectively with their children, creating stronger, healthier family units. We are at risk of losing access to these enriching opportunities, which not only help educate parents but also cultivate a community of support amongst participants. “

Thank you to everyone who made it to our welcome picnic last week! What a gorgeous and fun day we all had. Our Bears program is packed full this year and our Dino program welcomed several new members - we love introducing all our new friends to our collaborative and play-based programming! Our first week back in school was brimming with lots of energy and excitement. Thanks to our teachers, Teacher Si, Teacher Janelle, and Teacher Leng for creating such a warm and welcoming space for all our sweet Bears and Dinos (and their parents too!!)- here’s to another great year at ECP!

At Eastgate Co-op Preschool, learning is hands-on and full of joy!

This week, our little chefs rolled up their sleeves and made delicious apple pies — measuring, filling, folding, and sealing each one.

We also explored our creative side with clay crafting! The children used sculpting tools to mold their ideas into wonderful creations—working with their hands and imaginations to express themselves through art.

From baking to building, every day is a chance to grow, explore, and create together. We’re so proud of our curious, capable kids!

The kids were full of smiles, giggles, and the best questions ever. Watching their eyes light up with wonder was the sweetest thing!

A big thank you to our wonderful teachers and grown-up helpers who made the day extra special. We love creating magical memories like these with our preschool family. 💛

Here’s to more adventures, more animals, and more joy! 🐾✨
