Pre-Kindergarten

A Unique Beginning: Where Wonder Meets Wisdom

Seattle Classical Christian School’s unique Pre-K program offers a joyful and intentional start to schooling, nurturing the whole child and laying a strong foundation in faith and learning.

Rooted in Scripture, guided by classical tradition, and enriched by Montessori-informed methods, our program blends beauty and order, structure and freedom, and work with wonder. Led by a trained Montessori educator, the classroom invites children into sensorial, hands-on learning that builds focus, independence, and delight in discovery. Each child is known, loved, and nurtured in every area of growth—spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual. Pre-K students must be 3 years old by August 31.

Pre-K at SCCS is a Christ-centered beginning to a lifelong journey of learning, virtue, and wonder.

What Makes SCCS Different?

SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION

With the Gospel at the center, students learn habits of stewardship, honor, wisdom, and self-control.

JOYFUL EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

Children engage in purposeful work that nurtures focus, responsibility, and delight in learning.

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW

God’s Word is the foundation for every subject, guiding how students learn, think, and live.

CURIOSITY CULTIVATION

Through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences, children explore God’s world with joy and curiosity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

A Delightful Daily Rhythm

Consistent routines help children feel secure by providing a sense of predictability. Our daily rhythm blends structure with opportunities for exploration, inviting each child to engage joyfully and confidently in their learning.

Each day includes meaningful practices such as prayer, catechism, hands-on learning, snack time, outdoor play, rest, and group games. We also celebrate special moments, like birthdays and events on the liturgical calendar, and join in all-school gatherings such as chapel and collaborate with other grades, helping students feel a sense of belonging in our Christ-centered community.

Our Pre-K students regularly venture out on field trips to visit community neighbors and explore local parks, discovering the beauty and wonder of God’s creation through real-world experiences.

How We Nurture Young Learners

Montessori-Informed and Classical in Heart
Our Montessori-informed approach encourages independence and intentionality while integrating the classical model’s focus on goodness, truth, and beauty.

Wonder-Filled Learning
Through hands-on, sensory-rich experiences, children explore God’s world with joy and curiosity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Peaceful, Predictable Rhythms
A thoughtful daily routine balances structure and freedom, nurturing confidence, security, and joy as children move through their day.
Spiritual and Character Formation
Even our youngest learners are invited into a community where character matters, and where they are gently guided to reflect the image of Christ. Students begin to form habits of honor, stewardship, and Christlike love in a warm, Gospel-centered environment.
Strong Foundations for Kindergarten
Children build core “pre-academic” skills in early literacy, math, fine motor development, and classroom readiness, gently preparing them for future success.
Whole-Child Engagement
Children experience a beautiful school beginning through the weekly integration of Music, Art, P.E., and Creative Dramatics with specialized teachers.
Joyful Community and Belonging
From chapel to reading buddies to all-school celebrations, Pre-K children experience belonging in a school community where every child is seen and celebrated.
Full Day and Half Day Options
Full-day hours are Monday-Friday from 8:15 AM to 3:00 PM
Half-day hours are Monday-Friday 8:15 AM to 11:30 AM.

REQUEST MORE INFORMATION

“We loved Pre-K because Mrs. Lasmarias is an amazing teacher. She was able to really see and know our child, meet him where he was at, and encouraged his desire to learn. The Montessori and Classical methods used fostered a real sense of independence and curiosity in so many areas - from writing and math to sewing and plant care. The regular field trips to Seward park and Aegis Living provided meaningful connections to nature and community that our family really valued. The year was the perfect gentle transition into school rhythms, with a classroom that felt pat school, part home and a teacher that loved and guided our child well. ”

— Nanfelt Family
