Lincoln Park Co-op Preschool
Rooted in West Seattle, Growing in Community
About Lincoln Park Co-op
Lincoln Park Cooperative Preschool is a welcoming, play-based early learning community located just blocks from the Fauntleroy Ferry Dock in West Seattle. Our program supports children’s social, emotional, and language development through hands-on discovery and guided play. We offer Spanish language instruction in our 3s and Pre-K classes and make full use of the beautiful outdoor play spaces at the historic Fauntleroy Schoolhouse and nearby Lincoln Park.
As a cooperative preschool, we emphasize strong partnerships with families. Parents and caregivers actively participate in the classroom and benefit from parent education led by an experienced instructor from South Seattle College. This approach helps caregivers build skills to support their child’s growth at home while fostering a connected community.
Inclusion, equity, and anti-bias education are foundational to everything we do. Our curriculum aligns with Washington State’s Kindergarten Entrance Guidelines to prepare children for a confident transition to kindergarten in a nurturing, diverse, and supportive environment.
Tuition & Enrollment
A Note About Tiered Tuition
Our site has moved to an optional tiered tuition system for some classes (2s, 3s, & Pre-K). The three-tier system increases tuition for higher-income families. By inviting families who can pay more to do so, we hope to keep tuition affordable and accessible to more families. This reflects the spirit of equity, inclusion, and community at the core of our co-op mission.
Tuition tiers are:
1. Suggested, not required.
2. Based on US census data for the Seattle area on income quartiles
3. Self-selected and self-reported (no income verification required)
4. Visible only to preschool admins
Enrollment Information
