Planting the seeds of curiosity and respect of all individuals, while growing strong roots for students and families, since 1977, The Children’s Garden is where children blossom into caring community members, full of wonder and possibility.
The Children’s Garden School is a play-based preschool in Issaquah nestled at the base of Tiger Mountain in a serene, park-like setting spanning six acres of natural woodlands, gardens, and hiking trails. As the oldest preschool in Issaquah, our charming school offers a nurturing environment where young children can grow, explore, and thrive.
We specialize in early childhood education for children ages 2.5 to 6, offering a rich, emergent curriculum rooted in play, curiosity, and outdoor exploration. Our program celebrates each child’s uniqueness, fosters self-esteem, and encourages cooperation through mutual respect.
With thoughtful programming and a passionate, dedicated staff, we support essential areas of development including communication and social skills, early literacy and math readiness, science and nature exploration, cultural enrichment, and personal safety. Creative arts—such as visual arts, music, movement, and storytelling—are woven throughout our days, creating a joyful and well-rounded foundation for learning.
Located in Issaquah and welcoming families from across the Eastside and Snoqualmie Valley—including Sammamish, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Bellevue, Renton, and Kent.
