Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The mission of CSWS is to create a space in which our community of children, teachers and families can be an educational team. Collaboratively, we will work to inspire and support curiosity, confidence, empathy, resiliency, and the social emotional well-being of every child. Our curriculum is based on the principles of respect, responsibility and community through play, exploration and discovery. We are committed to building and maintaining a responsive environment that is dedicated to inclusivity, equity and strong relationships. CSWS provides year round preschool for ages 3-5 & a caregiver/child community playdate for children of all ages. CSWS envisions a community where all children are honored and respected as naturally capable, curious, and creative beings.

Activities or mission (Part I)

CSWS provides year round preschool for ages 3-5 & a caregiver/child community playdate for children of all ages. CSWS envisions a community where all children are honored and respected as naturally capable, curious, and creative beings.

  • The Community School of West Seattle (CSWS) is a creative, exploratory and play-based preschool that each year serves 85 children between 3-5 years old, and their families. Additionally we run a monthly program one day a month called "Community Play Date" which is for children of all ages and their caregivers. Community Play Date gives families the opportunity to be in the school setting together after years of isolation due to the COVID19 pandemic and gives them safe, age appropriate opportunities to have autonomy and explore. At CSWS we believe play is the vital work of childhood and that young children learn by doing. Through authentic, emergent, project and play-based learning, the school strives to develop each student socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, so that every child will gain a sense of self and life-long confidence. The school's multi-age and anti-bias approach allows children to learn from, and support each other. We are inspired by Reggio philosophy and the Project Approach as foundations for our work with children. Families are an integral part of the school. We provide educational offerings to families as a way to strengthen our community and support the school as a whole, volunteer opportunities and events. CSWS is committed to anti-bias, social justice, and racial equity, including our work in the community, our work with families and our work with children. As an early learning provider, we have the potential to provide a foundation on which to build future opportunities for all children who enter our school, and throughout our community. Financially, we are committed to running a lean organization so that we can keep tuition costs reasonably low for families while still being fiscally responsible to our operation costs and providing a fair and livable wage for our staff. To ensure access for as many families as possible, CSWS accepts all state and city subsidies we are eligible to accept and we also partner with the Seattle Preschool Program to provide an entire low-cost preschool classroom. We are committed to excellence in early childhood education for all children.
