Arrowhead Inglemoor Preschool

Bobbi Jakubiak and Mary Carlson started Children's School and Montessori in 1993 so their own children and their neighbors' children could share a preschool close to home. We are still a neighborhood school, north of Seattle where Lake Forest Park, Brier, Bothell, and Kenmore meet. We serve children from age two and a half through kindergarten in full-time and part-time programs. Our curriculum combines classic Montessori teaching with established early childhood education principles, so children learn to solve problems on their own and as part of a group while building self-confidence, respect, and cooperation. During the school year, families choose from several schedule options, and our kindergartners can stay for before and after school care. Over the years our founders have added a small team of educators to the school, which stays large enough to keep children challenged and small enough for every family to know the teachers well.
