CSWS provides year round preschool for ages 3-5 & a caregiver/child community playdate for children of all ages. 0 0 1320656 0 1197420 The Community School of West Seattle (CSWS) is a creative, exploratory and play-based preschool that each year serves 85 children between 3-5 years old, and their families, as well as a monthly "Community Play Date" for children of all ages and their caregivers. At CSWS we believe play is the vital work of childhood and that young children learn by doing. Through authentic, emergent, project and play-based learning, the school strives to develop each student socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, so that every child will gain a sense of self and life-long confidence. The school's multi-age and anti-bias approach allows children to learn from and support each other. We are inspired by Reggio philosophy and the Project Approach as foundations for our work with children. We provide educational offerings to families as a way to strengthen our community and support the school as a whole, volunteer opportunities and events. CSWS is committed to anti-bias, social justice, and racial equity, including our work in the community, our families and children. Financially, we are committed to running a lean organization so that we can keep tuition costs reasonably low for families while still being fiscally responsible to our operation costs and providing a fair and livable wage for our staff. To ensure access for as many families as possible, CSWS accepts all state and city subsidies as week as partner with Seattle Preschool Program to provide an entire low-cost preschool classroom. 0 0 0 1320656 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Whitney Young 2067632081 9450 22nd Ave SW Seattle WA 98106 Lupita Covarrubias Program Director 40 0 X 73035 0 1691 Whitney Young Director of Operations 30 0 X 46135 0 0 Kat Kruger Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Sullivan Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Deborah Bloom Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kate McMullen Director 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 119170 0 1691 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 156560 45621 0 202181 Preschool Program 624410 1197420 1197420 0 0 0 0 0 0 1197420 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1315 0 0 1315 0 0 0 0 0 0 1400916 1197420 0 1315 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 119593 68681 44932 5980 0 0 0 0 776298 769516 6782 0 0 0 0 0 75940 64549 7594 3797 134104 126810 6189 1105 0 0 0 0 20566 0 20566 0 8292 0 8292 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35190 33950 827 413 742 742 0 0 44789 38071 4479 2239 6809 5788 681 340 0 0 0 0 182154 154831 18215 9108 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23242 19756 2324 1162 0 0 0 0 35728 30369 3573 1786 8988 4494 4494 0 Team Building and Appreciation 3646 3099 365 182 1476081 1320656 129313 26112 6632 4826 1067 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32375 0 1021574 238388 818914 783186 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 858988 788012 37716 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 548071 528384 0 39100 1326 587113 567484 X 259079 220528 12796 0 271875 220528 858988 788012 X -75165 0 0 0 2346 21472 X 0 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 449000 449000 0 519978 197334 322644 0 0 0 0 0 42575 31033 11542 0 10021 10021 0 783186 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 All publications include inclusion and diversity as values of our school community.
