We are a non-profit Christian preschool located in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. Parents all over the Seattle area choose Bethany Bear's for their children knowing they'll be safe, nurtured, and loved in a Christian preschool with strong academics.

Our Mission and Philosophy

Bethany Bear's Preschool celebrates and nurtures each child’s individuality. We believe that if a child feels happy, safe, and nurtured while at school they will develop a lifelong love of learning. Through play, academics, love, and a positive environment our mission is to prepare our preschoolers for kindergarten and the world beyond.

Each student comes to us uniquely themselves. They have different interests, backgrounds, family and home lives, and life experiences. Our teachers joyfully foster curiosity, independence, and problem-solving skills, while instilling in each child a love of life, learning, God, themselves, and each other.

Bethany Bear’s Preschool welcomes families of all races, color, national, ethnic, and religious backgrounds and beliefs. We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admission policies or scholarships.

Our Teamwork Approach with Parents

We believe that you are your child's number one teacher and we are here to work alongside you to best know, understand, support, and teach your child. At Bethany Bear's we believe that communication is the cornerstone of that relationship. Our teachers are approachable and accessible, and each communicates weekly with class news and updates.

We invite parents to volunteer in the art room and classrooms, share any expertise that they may have that might tie in with our weekly theme, and join us for special celebrations at preschool. We have a volunteer position for room parents for each class as well. In February we invite you to join us for parent-teacher conferences to celebrate your child's growth thus far.
