Looking for a creative place for your 3-4-5 year old?

Come bring your little one to Sweet Peas Preschool in my home in Kirkland. I provide a safe, warm, home like environment where children are allowed to play and explore the natural world around them. Play is after all the ‘work’ of children.

Every week we will bake and eat home made bread and other homemade sugar free organic snacks. We will plant, harvest and eat our own veggies and fruit from our organic garden. We will play with home made and natural toys made of wood, silk, wool and cotton so children connect to the natural world. We will celebrate the days, months and seasons through stories and puppet shows told daily. There is outside play time for children to get all their energy out and run around and see if they can discover any fairies or gnomes that might live in our back yard forest. Each season also brings its own craft activities.

We will cover various stories throughout the year. With the introduction of television the art of storytelling has fallen out of use, but we have been telling stories to each other for centuries. Storytelling boosts vocabulary and concentration. Stories recited from memory are the seeds that sprout imagination and creativity in children. Stories, rhymes and games of all sorts will be covered through out the year.
