Meet Your Teacher:
Miss Joslyn!
Hi! I'm Miss Joslyn and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher.
With 6 years of Pre-K lead teaching experience and over seventy
hours in professional development training, I’m passionate about creating a nurturing
and engaging environment for our young learners. I am also continuing my education for an ECE degree at Bellevue College.
I believe in play-based learning and my
favorite part about teaching preschool is creating a classroom where children
thrive and get ready for kindergarten.
Outside of the classroom, I love drinking tea and playing board games
with my family as well as spending time outdoors.
Now, I get to teach YOUR child! I can't wait!
Top 5 Reasons You'll Love Us
Check Out Our Premier Program!
#1: Your child will be more than ready for Kinder!
Your child will receive individualized instruction through our thorough assessments and curriculum. I will guide your child in the areas they need to improve, and challenge them when they’re ready for more. Our balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities strengthen your whole child’s development: Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical.
#2: We keep your child healthy & safe!
Teaching children is a huge responsibility, and we take that responsibility seriously! Not only are we state CPR/1st Aid Certified, but our distinct policies and procedures regarding health and safety help to keep your child in a safe, clean environment.
#3: Your Child will Make Close Friends!
Our small classes of just 10 children allows your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and teacher. Because conflict-resolution skills are super vital to learn at this age, we help your child work through their problems with other children. Pretty soon they’re using the same strategies and words we’ve taught them, all by themselves!

I'll help your child gain self-confidence in a classroom and group of peers as well as grow in all areas of development. I'm excited to help your child grow and learn!

We’ve gone to places like: the Zoo, Cabela’s, Apple Orchard, Police Station, Fire Station, Popcorn Store, Grocery Store, Taekwondo, Domino’s Pizza, Pumpkin Patch, and more! We’ll also celebrate special occasions with parties for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and your child’s birthday!
#8: Your child gets a shirt and portfolio!
Each year, your child will receive a different t-shirt for that school year to wear on Spirit Days. Some of our families have been with us so long they are t-shirt collectors! We also save some of your child’s artwork for a special portfolio you get at graduation.

When should I call to register my child?
It’s never too early to call, so call as soon as you even think about registering, because our classes fill up ridiculously fast!
When does preschool start? Can I enroll mid-year?
We have a 10-month school year (Aug.-May) and a 2-month summer camp (June-July). If we have spots available, you can enroll mid-year. Please call us to see if we have any spots available.
How old does my child need to be to attend?
Preschool classes are for children who are ages 3-5 (and "independent almost-3-year-olds") by Sep. 1. Summer camp is for children who are ages 3-6 by June 1.
Does my child have to be potty trained?
Yes. If you have any questions about whether or not your child is ready, feel free to give us a call. We even have a “How To Potty Train” your child handout we can give you. It’s helped many preschool moms quickly potty train their kids. We’re here to help!
What is your teaching philosophy?
We follow a “whole child” philosophy where we work with you to improve your child’s Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical skills. Our curriculum is based on a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities to accomplish these goals. We also incorporate play-based and social-emotional curriculum. Your child will learn to socialize, make friends, develop social and emotional skills, and be more than ready for Kindergarten!
Are there additional fees during the year?
No. Your registration fee covers all your child’s supplies, reserves a spot in our program, and you will also receive a portfolio when your child moves to kindergarten.
What if my child has food restrictions?
No worries. Several of our students have food intolerances or severe allergies. We ask these families to bring in their own snacks, and we create nut-free classrooms any time a child’s allergy is severe enough to require an epi pen.
Is the registration fee refundable?
No.
How many students do you have per class?
We have small class sizes so your child gets lots of 1-on-1 time. We only have 10 students per class.

Bree Bang-Jensen
"Joslyn was my daughter's preschool teacher from the
time she was three till she went to kindergarten. Of all the early
education professionals either of my children have had, Joslyn stands out as
the very best. This is due to her expertise, creativity, hard work,
and most of all, innate understanding of and empathy for preschoolers.
Joslyn made excellent curricular choices for her class, and thoughtfully
modified lessons to meet every student where they were at. She was able
to integrate more challenging material that kept my daughter engaged in
the classroom, as well as approach areas that were more difficult for my
daughter in ways that helped her grow while building her self-esteem. Joslyn
was very aware of each child's emotional development, and helped me understand
my daughter's emotional and social experiences in the classroom in ways that
were very respectful of my daughter and our family. Joslyn has a true
gift for working with children, and I am confident any families that choose her
school will be very glad they did."
Megan McConnehey
"Our family cannot say enough positive things about the growth, readiness and love we all endured during our time with Ms. Joslyn. Joslyn was our son’s preschool teacher for three years, in which he went from a regular preschool class to a pre-K class, intertwining some kindergarten material in as well. Joslyn was very flexible with the care and patience our son needed, and adapted curriculum as needed for his growth. The amount of dedication she showed to her students and their learning was commendable and we felt he was in the best hands for Kindergarten prep. We felt so confident in Joslyn’s ability to teach and then show us, as parents, all the developmental categories in which our son was progressing. We felt like Ms. Joslyn really prepared our son for elementary school and can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work and love she put into our family."
Megan Sandoval-Witte
"I had the privilege of working alongside and observing Ms.
Joslyn in her classroom, and it was truly inspiring. Her passion for teaching
is evident in the way she devotes her time to each student, paying close
attention to their individual needs. She has an incredible ability to create an
environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued. Ms. Joslyn is
dedicated to ensuring that each student not only learns but also enjoys the
process, fostering a genuine love for learning that encourages them to explore
and grow.
What truly sets her apart is her big heart; she is always
willing to listen to the concerns of her students and their families, offering
thoughtful perspectives and recommendations whenever she can help. It’s clear
that she cares deeply about her students' well-being, both academically and
emotionally. Her classroom is a nurturing space where every child can thrive,
and it’s a joy to witness the impact she has on their lives.
I personally felt the impact of Ms. Joslyn’s teachings
whenever I sought her advice for my stepson. I remember the challenges we faced
in helping him thrive in school, but with her thoughtful guidance and a few
tailored study materials, he has made significant strides. Thanks to Ms.
Joslyn’s support, my son is not only doing better academically but is also able
to apply her teachings with his new teachers. Her dedication to her students
extends beyond the classroom, and I am truly grateful for the positive influence
she has had on our family.
I can say with confidence that I have found no better coworker to work alongside not a better teacher I would want for my own children. Ms. Joslyn embodies the qualities of an exceptional educator, and her impact will be felt long after her students leave her classroom."
