Our Program

Using the natural inquisitiveness and interests of each child, the goal of our Snoqualmie Preschool program is to create a classroom environment to support children’s development, growth and preparedness for kindergarten and beyond. At Little Stars, student creativity, curiosity and collaboration is at the core of our Snoqualmie preschool curriculum.

Little Stars Preschool is a preschool-only program. We follow the Snoqualmie Valley School District calendar. We do not diaper children. Your child must be fully potty trained to attend our program. We do not offer a full day option at Little Stars Preschool. We look forward to touring families and getting all your questions answered about our programming.

LITTLE STARS PRESCHOOL Program Overview

Little Stars Preschool is a preschool-only program. We follow the Snoqualmie Valley School District calendar. Your child must be fully potty trained to attend our program. We offer AM and PM preschool programs and also a Big Star Studios inspired afternoon enrichment program. We look forward to touring families and getting all your questions answered about our programming.

Classroom Schedule & Flow

All of our teachers highly regard and consider the natural rhythms of the children both as individuals and in groups to determine when and how to transition throughout the day. This will allow more time to be spent on a topic or activity or play experiences to enrich the time we have with your children. On a beautiful day, being outdoors for a bit longer or the need for more time building with blocks, could lead to a more flexible schedule and design on a given day based on the children’s interests.

Our daily schedule will honor the work and engagement of our students. We avoid a bell-time mentality as it can interrupt their exceptional learning.

A possible schedule for our day may look as follows:

  • Arrival and welcome
  • Outdoor play, exploration, social gathering
  • Group meeting time to connect, introduce ideas, topics, materials in the classroom
  • Indoor classroom exploration with materials that support fine motor, Math concepts, Literacy, Science and Art
  • Snack and story time
  • Outdoor classroom exploration with concepts such as Science, nature stewardship, community, Art, gross motor development, Math and Writing.
  • Dismissal and goodbye

  • If your child is not fully potty trained, we are totally willing to work with you. If your child has a number one accident, we can help get them changed. If there is a number two accident, we will have to call you to come and change your child. A student should be able to get their pants on and off and get onto the potty independently. We are not a daycare and therefore are not licensed to diaper kids. Please make sure your child is well on their way to being potty trained before the start of the school year.
