Attention! Now enrolling at SWEL Preschool for next school year, September 2009 to June 2010; located at Southwest Youth and Family Services. We are a non-profit preschool based on the Reggio Emilia learning model focused on preparing your child to enter into the world of Kindergarten. We have an extensive dual-language model, teaching your child Spanish at an early age. We have teachers that are fluent in Spanish, Somali and Arabic. Early literacy and experiential learning is an important focus at SWEL preschool. Working on writing and reading skills is a daily task, with take home materials (homework) for extra practice.

At SWEL our mission is to provide a high quality part-time preschool experience for children ages 3-5 in a warm, nurturing, culturally relevant environment. Our vision for SWEL is a high quality dual language, multilingual and multicultural early childhood program that fosters the holistic development of each child within the context of their home culture and language.

The classroom is designed to provide a comforting homely learning environment where your child can feel at ease as soon as they enter. Around the room you will find labels on almost everything including the English AND Spanish word for the item. The classroom is structure to include teacher-led and student-led activities, science experiments and projects, walking field trips, and the freedom to explore and create.

SWEL preschool is apart of the City of Seattle’s Step Ahead program, providing free preschool for families that fit within income guidelines. As a partner with Sound Child Care Solutions: A Consortium of Child Care Centers, SWEL preschool holds strong values for anti-bias practices and a culturally relevant environment.

Sounds interesting, and it’s near my house. Could you provide more info? Do you have a website, and could you provide school hours, the daily schedule, and cost?

Thanks!

(by the way, you probably meant “homey learning environment” instead of “homely”)
