Parent Education at The Children's Garden
Our legal name, Issaquah Valley Family Education, reflects a core value of our school: learning is for children and families alike. From staff-led informational meetings to online parent classes, coming together with our Garden community to share experiences, compare notes, ask questions, and build meaningful connections is a unique and powerful part of who we are.

Our Honeybee class offers a rich social and academic curriculum to prepare our students for Kindergarten. We assess each student based on Washington State academic standards and meet with parents in our yearly conferences to discuss kindergarten readiness.
