Europakids International Preschool Edmonds
Preschool in Edmonds, WA 98026
EuropaKids International Preschool started in 2006 as a German-Language only preschool in a suburb of Seattle, Washington. Over the next few years, it became apparent that Seattle was ready for a new type of preschool experience. As our reputation has grown, so have the number of locations and languages. We expanded our target languages to include German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. Many of the neighborhoods where our schools are located are multicultural and we hope that our internationally focused program will help our families gain an appreciation for these exciting cultures that live near them.
Our Teachers are Highly Trained
Each member of the EuropaKids family goes through a rigorous training program to ensure that your little ones are in the best hands possible.
All EuropaKids teachers are native speakers of their language and we encourage them to put their own cultural spin on introducing your child to their new world. Slight differences in tone or vocabulary help you child develop a real appreciation for the beauty of each language. Not only is it important for our teachers to be nurturing and sensitive to your childs needs, it is imperative that they receive recurrent training in bilingual education, early childhood development, and child safety related issues.
Forming a Bond with your Family
EuropaKids’ teachers share a special bond with you and your family that many other childcare providers are envious of. Learning a second or third language at such an early age is a tremendous achievement. Our teachers are there to be your partner in your childs language adventure and to ensure that the communication between us is both inspiring and productive.
Low Teacher to Student Ratios
Our low teacher to student ratio is one of many reasons why EuropaKids is the best way for your child to start their multilingual journey. Each teacher has the time to really focus on each individual and their unique needs and learning styles.

Two languages are a gift. In a bilingual environment the children learn the second language as easily as their own mother tongue.
This system is well-known from years of experience with children who have grown up in a bilingual family environment. Early contact with a new language forms the basis for better cognitive development. EuropaKids uses this reality to lay the foundation for future language growth. An outstanding pre-K curriculum coupled with a 100% immersion instructional program based upon progressive instructional methods is the perfect way to start their adventure!Children in a bilingual environment become more aware of their own language and learn to think and act in more flexible ways. They develop a better ability to understand other people’s way of thinking and have a better understanding for people who speak a different language. In addition, they have access to multi-media resources in the new language (books, movies and Internet!
