Preschool at Magnolia

Magnolia Elementary hosts Seattle Preschool Program Plus (SPP Plus) which offers a high-quality preschool program that welcomes 3 and 4-year-old students. Students in this program participate in a full-time, research-based curriculum where we honor, anticipate, plan for, and respond with care to the needs of all bodies and minds. Personalized instruction is incorporated into the early childhood learning environment, materials, and curriculum to support the individual needs of every student.

The HighScope Curriculum is uniquely designed to provide a rich academic foundation while promoting independence, decision making, cooperation, creativity, and problem solving in young children.
