Tiger Lily Preschool is located in the basement of a residential house in North Seattle/Shoreline, in the Haller Lake neighborhood. We have a fun and vibrant indoor space as well as a spacious outdoor play area. Students do not need to be potty trained to attend Tiger Lily Preschool.
At Tiger Lily Preschool we focus on nurturing the whole child. We use an emergent curriculum approach. Children learn and thrive best when their interests are recognized and explored. We follow the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) standards regarding developmentally appropriate practices, early childhood program standards and curriculum. We accept students of all abilities from 2.5 to 5 years of age. The students will enjoy a structured daily schedule full of free choice play time, structured lessons, story time, free exploration, outside play time and fun art projects!
Social-emotional development is so important in the preschool year. We use the Second Step curriculum in our classroom to help teach emotional awareness, listening skills, problem solving skills and more. This is an amazing curriculum. We do a short lesson about that weeks topic during circle time. Some of the topics include learning about listening skills, following directions, focusing attention, identifying feelings, identifying accidents, fair ways to play and many more.
We follow a similar academic calendar as Seattle and Shoreline Public Schools. We have Winter break, Mid-winter break, Spring break and we’re closed for most major holidays. We are a nut and egg free school. This includes peanuts and tree nuts.
