| 👋 Welcome to Kid Friendly Seattle! |
We love nature, don’t you? Here’s some plant filled themes to check out with the fam!
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HAMLIN ROBINSON SCHOOL
🏫 A Preschool Built by Reading Experts (Judkins Park)
📆 Now enrolling ages 3–4 for the inaugural class
📍 1701 20th Ave S, Seattle 98144
Most preschools wait until kids struggle with reading to do something about it. Hamlin Robinson's new preschool starts at age three; building vocabulary, listening, and phonological awareness through play, music, art, and outdoor time, not worksheets.
Where are you in the preschool hunt?
It's the same language and literacy expertise HRS has been known for, now designed for three and four year olds. Small inaugural class, dedicated director plus lead and assistant teacher, daily photo updates so you actually know how the day went.
