The Children’s School
A neighborhood nonprofit preschool established in 1965
The Children's School is a nonprofit preschool established in 1965. Here we believe children learn best through play. This means classrooms that invite children to explore materials at their own pace, an emphasis on strong community relationships, and the space to grow into a confident, curious learner.
Our nonprofit structure allows us to cultivate a culture that puts children and families first while supporting the well-being of our talented and experienced teachers. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization we ensure a majority of our funds are allocated to fair wages and benefits for our staff, maintaining small class sizes, and keeping our materials safe and up-to-date.
PARENT TESTIMONIALS
TCS has been, by far, the best preschool experience our family has had. My first two children did not attend TCS, and I wish they had. The teachers provide a structured, loving and educationally rich environment that nurtures the whole child. I have total confidence that my son will be fully prepared academically, socially and emotionally for kindergarten and beyond. The quality of education cannot be beat, and I wish all children had an opportunity to learn and thrive at a preschool like TCS.

Both my kids have been in The Children’s School. Great, caring teachers and very well managed. Good, regular communication with parents. Impressive and consistent response to Covid. Can’t recommend this preschool highly enough.

All 3 of our kids have attended TCS, with the first one, now 9, starting off at the original location in the Us District, and then continuing into the new locations in Green Lake. Great teachers, great director, and also great kids (and their parents). I feel our kids have gotten a great entry into school life at TCS, and I’ve enjoyed interacting with everyone each time I’ve dropped them off and picked them up. Our youngest one still has another 2 years left before big kid school!!
