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 with play based approaches as well. Children learn and thrive best through an engaging classroom where play is the focus. We accept students of all abilities from 2.5 to 5 years of age. Students enjoy a structured daily schedule full of free choice play time, story time, free exploration of materials, outside play time and fun process art projects. We are not afraid to get messy!

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.
