Kind leading the kind

Our Community

At our school in Seattle we cultivated a supportive, hyperlocal, and playful community that extended far beyond the classroom. We built strong, lasting connections among students, families, and our neighborhood.

Stronger Together

Our multi-year program allowed deep bonds to form between children and between OTS families. We considered the entire family a vital part of our school community, offering mutual support and shared experiences.

Rooted in Our Neighborhood

We were committed to being an integral part of our local community. By prioritizing proximity in our admissions process, we fostered strong neighborly connections among our clients. Sourcing our food and supplies as locally as possible supported our community's businesses and economy while instilling a sense of connection to place in our students.

Sharing Expertise

We believe that collaboration is key, from pre-K to professional networks. In our mission to influence positive change in early childhood education, we actively partner with educators, childcare providers, and family-focused organizations. By sharing our expertise we contribute to a stronger, more vibrant early learning community.
