BYC Preschool and Pre-K

Our preschool and pre-K program in Ballard is a warm, play-based learning environment inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with a child centered focus at the heart of our school. We believe children learn best through exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences. Each day is filled with art, nature walks, storytelling, sensory play, and engaging activities that foster independence, curiosity, and confidence.

At BYC Kids, we nurture a love of learning through child-led discovery, allowing kids to ask questions, experiment, and express themselves in a supportive space. Our program includes gardening, baking, yoga, and beach exploration, connecting children to the world around them in meaningful ways. We emphasize social-emotional growth, problem-solving skills, and community building, helping children develop a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

Whether they’re painting a masterpiece, planting seeds in our garden, or sharing stories with friends, our preschoolers and pre-K kids are encouraged to think big, create freely, and explore with wonder. Join us for a joyful, enriching early learning experience at BYC Kids!
