Seattle Preschool Program offered by BrightSpark Early Learning Services
Provides high-quality, affordable, and accessible child care for Seattle families, preparing students for Kindergarten and beyond, with the goal of eliminating the racially disproportionate kindergarten readiness gap. In partnership with the City of Seattle’s Department of Education and Early Learning (DEEL), SPP helps prepare 3 and 4-year-olds for kindergarten and beyond, while offering tuition assistance, family financial assistance, and health screenings. Early learning coaches help SPP teachers provide a culturally responsive, engaging, and nurturing learning environment for all students, and some classrooms offer dual language instruction.
