Just blocks from Alki Beach and down the hill from The Junction, we exemplify the best of West Seattle. Alki Co-op Preschool kids get to do the messy, creative, intriguing things that stimulate their curiosities and fire up their growing brains! Alki Co-op Preschool's curriculum is play-based.
We believe a child's play is their work and that learning happens best when children use their bodies, their senses, their hearts, and their minds to discover their world.Facilitated play lays the foundation for architecture of the brain that will support academic success.

This is my child's second year in Alki Coop and we love it so much. We love the play-based education model, the parent education resources, the teachers in the classroom and the community of parents and kiddos that we are building for our family. I'm excited to enroll my younger kiddo for next year.

Unbelievably given the location of the preschool there was a child named Aryan (which is never an acceptable name given the political association) in my child's class. The lead from the sponsoring college introduced him to the class one day as quote " our friend Aryan". Not surprisingly, we had issues such as a parent putting her hands on and interacting with my child in a way I felt was inappropriate. We dropped out of the class and canceled our enrollment for next year. Class is/was having issues keeping students as other families have left as well.
