Concordia's Wedgwood Preschool program has been a vibrant and integral part of the Northeast Seattle area for many years. We offer fully licensed programs for children ages 3 through 5 years of age. We offer half or full day classes in addition to many levels of care, depending on the needs of your family. With our dedicated, experienced and nurturing staff, we are blessed to serve many families.
Our beautiful, large classrooms are filled with natural light and we offer a play based relational curriculum that is geared for the individual child's development and learning style. Enrichment classes include a weekly music class for all ages, and chapel services for preschool through 8th grade. Our 5's program also has Spanish and Physical Education classes each week. We also enjoy a dedicated recess time for large motor activity in our large playground area and on rainy and cold days we have access to our full sized gymnasium.
Our Wedgwood campus also offers state licensed summer programs mid­-June through August, with weekly enrollment. Concordia students and children from the community are invited to join us.
True to our Mission Statement, we are Christ centered, and all of the teachers model their Christian faith in the classroom each day. We welcome you to come and visit our wonderful school!

Our Giraffe class began in 2010, when it became evident that parents were looking for a preschool class for the 4 1⁄2 to young 5 year old child, who would benefit from a preschool environment with some kindergarten curriculum added to the play based atmosphere. This class utilizes the Zoo‐phonics curriculum, along with the "Let's Find Out" weekly theme based language arts/math materials for small group time. Bible stories are an intricate part of our curriculum, and students are encouraged to grow in their knowledge of Christ and model the kindness in their behavior that they like to receive. Weekly enrichment classes of Spanish, Physical Education and Music along with weekly Chapel services with the K – 8 students provide a school year rich with kindergarten readiness.
