Inclusive Preschool · Ages 2½–5

A cozy, play-based preschool where every little learner belongs.
Weekdays 9:00 AM–1:00 PM · Sammamish

At The Nook, children learn the way young children learn best: through play, curiosity, and connection. Neurodivergent and neurotypical kids learn side by side in a classroom guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, so every child gets thoughtful, individualized support to grow in independence, communication, and friendship, without ever being asked to be anyone but themselves.

What your child will find here

  • Learning through play, backed by a real curriculum and weekly lesson plans

  • Predictable routines and visual schedules, so every day feels safe and familiar

  • Sensory-friendly spaces, movement breaks, and a cozy spot to reset

  • Every way of communicating welcomed: words, signs, gestures, and AAC

  • Their favorite things (trains, dinosaurs, bugs, you name it) woven into learning

  • Small groups and goals made just for them

  • Regular updates, so you always know how your child is growing

Times are approximate and flex with each group of kids.

Because children learn so much from each other.

Research on early childhood inclusion shows real benefits for children with and without disabilities. Kids build friendships, language, and empathy side by side, and they grow up ready for a world where everyone belongs. For families, that early sense of belonging shapes what feels possible for the years ahead.

And because getting support shouldn’t be this hard.

No insurance authorizations, denials, co-pays, required assessments, or waiting on a diagnosis. Your child gets expert, BCBA-guided support from the first day, and you spend your energy on your child, not paperwork.

What your family gets

  • A BCBA-designed classroom with behavior support built into every day

  • Speech services on site, during or right after preschool

  • Regular parent check-ins, so you always know how your child is doing

  • IEP support when your child is headed to school

  • A transition report when they move on to school, so their next teachers know what works

  • Parent coaching and workshops whenever you want extra support
