Our Mission
"At BCP, we ignite curiosity, inspire creativity, and facilitate social and emotional development. We foster a lifelong community of support as our families and children learn through the magic and wonder of play."
BCP passionately envisions an environment in which children learn together through a diverse community. We ensure all families reach their fullest potential where:
-
Play-based experiences are child-led and unique to their development
-
Parents feel included, valued and empowered
-
Children have a voice in problem solving, risk taking and conflict resolution
-
The foundation is set for joyful, life-long learning

Our Classes
Burien Cooperative Preschool offers play-based classes for 1 to 5 year-olds. Our families work together to run every aspect of our school from assisting in the classroom to fundraising to event planning. Our families share their skills to create a community bonded by a common goal of creating a space, where our children are supported in whatever stage of development they may be.
