A Child's Journey School is an early childhood and preschool program in Kirkland, WA serving children from Nursery through Kindergarten. The school welcomes all children, including those with learning differences, and offers dedicated Learning Difference Programs to support diverse learners. With small class sizes averaging 14 students and a student-centered philosophy, the school creates an environment where children with varied learning needs can thrive through hands-on discovery and individualized support.
The school's approach emphasizes child-led learning and teacher-facilitated exploration rather than direct instruction, which can be particularly beneficial for children who learn differently. Staff members guide discovery and meaning-making, allowing each child to progress at their own pace. The program includes enrichment through arts, creative drama, individual skill-building sessions, and yoga—activities that support both academic and social-emotional development for children with diverse needs.
A Child's Journey School operates on a rolling admissions basis with no set deadline, making it accessible for families planning transitions. Tuition is approximately $45,000 annually, with summer school available for extended learning support. For specific questions about accommodations, staffing expertise with learning differences, or enrollment, families should contact Admissions Director Christa Giblin-Niven at (425) 821-6332 or visit achildsjourneyschool.com.
