Songbirds Preschool

Hands. Heart. Head. Educating the Whole Child.

A Waldorf-inspired preschool in the heart of Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood.

At Songbirds Preschool (formerly known as Tara’s Tots), every child is celebrated, every voice is welcomed, and every day is an adventure in learning, love, and nature. Learning is woven into play, curiosity, and community. Our programs nurture the whole child — social, emotional, physical, and cognitive — while encouraging a love of nature and discovery.

A Waldorf-Inspired Home for Imagination and Growth

Songbirds Preschool proudly embraces the principles of Waldorf education, infusing our classrooms with its enriching philosophy. Waldorf education takes a truly holistic approach, recognizing that a child’s growth and development encompass far more than just academic learning.

Our belief in nurturing a child’s social, emotional, and physical development alongside their cognitive abilities is at the core of our teaching approach. We understand that each child is a unique individual, and our curriculum is designed to honor and support their individuality, fostering a love of learning that extends far beyond mere academic achievement.

More Than Preschool – A Home Away from Home

We embrace the whole child – hands, heart, and head – through a nurturing, play-based program. With guidance, rhythm, and plenty of imagination, your child will thrive in a warm and supportive environment.
