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 (Continued on Schedule O, Statement 2)

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, as well as a monthly "Community Play Date" for children of all ages and their caregivers. 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. 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 families and children. 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 as week as partner with Seattle Preschool Program to provide an entire low-cost preschool classroom.
