Our philosophy is based on the belief that every child is a wonderful gift from God, made in his image and likeness, and they are filled with dignity, goodness, and an incredible potential for discovery, learning, and growth. We believe in providing age appropriate activities for the children that will develop and enhance their natural curiosity and imagination. We also believe parents are the primary teachers of their preschool children and they are entrusting their children to our loving care. Accordingly, the family is an integral part of our program and their participation is an essential element to the success of our program.

Lincoln Park Cooperative Preschool is a school that includes teachers, children, and their caregivers in a way that provides an education for the children, a resource and support system for families, and a community where all can thrive. At Lincoln Park Cooperative preschool, skilled preschool teachers provide a nurturing, comfortable, creative environment in which to play, observe, and experience new things. They provide space for kids to explore and get messy with art, to run and climb. There is a daily schedule for the children with smooth transitions and a routine that the children learn to follow and expect. There are classes for the just walker, up to the 4 and 5 year olds preparing for kindergarten. At Lincoln Park, parents are teacher’s assistants, too. As the year goes by, fall into spring, the children develop rapidly. Together, we sing songs, tell stories, read books, build structures, imagine and create. We model behavior and focus on whole family involvement. Their language skills improve. They become more self-confident. It is remarkable to experience this growth with the kids. Because of parent involvement, the adult to child ratio is high -- and this keeps costs reasonable. Lincoln Park Cooperative preschool is affiliated with South Seattle Community College. The college provides us with parent educators that help us to understand our children and give us the information we need, whether it is how to talk to our children, to show them how to interact with other children, or how to deal with the daily struggles that being a parent. There are also free educational seminars provided by these teachers to deal with specific issues. Lincoln Park is fortunate to also offer a Spanish program for the 3 to 5 year olds. Once a week the children create art, sing, and dance with our Spanish teacher, and are given the gift of enjoying learning another language. Lincoln Park Cooperative preschool provides a community where children feel safe and parents feel supported. As parents work in the classroom and at jobs for which they have volunteered, they interact with other parents and children, both ages finding life-long friends as they move up and on into elementary school.

Our vision: child care providers will have access to training and education opportunities, livable wages and benefits, and respect for a hard job done well. Parents will be honored and supported in their difficult work of caring for children, and have access to safe, loving, educational child care options when they go to work.

Beehive’s education mission is three-fold: We seek to nurture the whole child. Beehive provides a variety of experiences to meet the intellectual, social, emotional and physical needs of children. The program is designed to foster positive feelings towards school so that children will leave the program eager to continue learning in both formal and informal settings. Because parents attend Beehive with their children, parents demonstrate to their children the value they place on education and encourage a lifelong habit of learning. Beehive provides parents with opportunities to increase their knowledge about child development and improve their parenting skills. This is accomplished through making the books in our Parent Library available, scheduling parent meetings and guest speakers, and interacting frequently with other parents and Beehive staff.
