Clever Sprouts ECEAP

At Clever Sprouts Preschool, we believe every child deserves a joyful start to learning. Our full-day classroom provides a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment for three- and four-year-olds. Children learn through developmentally appropriate play and hands-on experiences in language, science, nature, technology, math, and art, building skills that prepare them for school and life.

As part of Washington’s Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP), we review applications using Income-Eligibility Guidelines as a starting point, considering each family’s needs individually. In addition to early learning, families receive support and resources to help children grow and thrive in every area of development.

Family Support

We know that children succeed best when families feel supported. Our Family Support Specialist partners with parents and caregivers to connect them with community resources, offer guidance on child development, and help set goals for the whole family’s well-being. Together, we create a team around each child to ensure they have the strongest start possible.

Health and Nutrition

Healthy minds and bodies go hand in hand. Clever Sprouts provides nutritious meals and snacks each day and teaches children about healthy eating through fun, age-appropriate activities. We also support families with health and dental screenings, ensuring children have access to the care they need to grow strong and stay well.
