About Us

A place where every child feels
like they belong.

BumbleBee Preschool was founded on a simple conviction: young children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and genuinely excited about discovery. Our Bothell classroom is designed to invite that sense of wonder into every corner — from the cozy reading nook to the outdoor garden space.

We follow a play-based curriculum that weaves together early literacy, numeracy, social-emotional growth, and creative expression. Every day is different, but the feeling is the same: your child is exactly where they're meant to be.

Why BumbleBee

What makes us different
is what makes us us.

01

Every child, known individually

We keep our ratios low so every child receives the attention they need. Our teachers learn your child's unique interests, temperament, and pace — and build on that knowledge every single day.

02

A curriculum that follows the child

Rather than forcing a rigid agenda, we observe, respond, and design experiences around what captivates your child's curiosity — whether that's dinosaurs, painting, or how plants grow.

03

Partners with families

We communicate openly and often. Daily updates, seasonal portfolios, and regular check-ins keep you connected to your child's day and their ongoing growth.

04

A safe, beautiful space

Our Bothell classroom is thoughtfully designed with natural materials, bright light, and dedicated indoor and outdoor areas that invite exploration and calm focus in equal measure.

From Families

Hear what our parents say.

"

BumbleBee has been such a warm, welcoming place for our family. Our daughter went from shy and hesitant to confident and excited about learning — we owe so much of that to the teachers here.

The communication from the teachers is incredible. I always know what my son did that day, and seeing his portfolio at the end of the term made me realize just how much he's grown — not just academically, but emotionally.

We visited several preschools in Bothell, and BumbleBee felt like home the moment we walked in. The space is beautiful, the staff genuinely cares, and my son still talks about his favorite days there.
