Seattle Amistad School nurtures toddlers and preschoolers in a warm, culturally rich environment where Spanish language immersion seamlessly blends with exceptional early childhood education. Our youngest learners thrive in a bilingual setting that respects their developmental needs while laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Through our dual-language approach, children naturally acquire Spanish while engaging in age-appropriate activities designed to support their cognitive, social, and emotional growth. This immersive experience not only develops language skills but also fosters cultural awareness and prepares these young minds for success in our increasingly connected world.

Our dedicated early learning program recognizes that quality care and education are inextricably linked during these crucial formative years, creating an environment where every child feels valued, supported, and excited to explore and learn.
