Happy Anniversary SPP!

This month, the Seattle Preschool Program (SPP) marked its 10th anniversary of preparing over 11,000 3- and 4-year-olds for kindergarten with a celebration at SCCS's Hoa Mai Vietnamese Bilingual Preschool!

After voters approved the 2014 Seattle Preschool Levy, SPP launched in the fall of 2015 with 15 classrooms across 13 sites, providing 280 preschool slots. Ten years later with support from the 2018 Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise (FEPP) Levy, SPP has grown to a staggering 156 classrooms at 104 sites citywide in collaboration with 29 providers.

"Hoa Mai is grateful for the opportunity and partnership with the Seattle Preschool Program through the years; not only has it provided resources and family engagement and tuition savings for families, but an opportunity for an intentional practice within our classrooms." --Gloria Hodge, Director, Hoa Mai Vietnamese Bilingual Preschool

The following SCCS programs are SPP providers--Hoa Mai Vietnamese Bilingual Preschool, Interlaken Preschool, Southwest Early Learning Bilingual Preschool, Refugee & Immigrant Family Center, and Pinehurst Schools.
