Thank you for being part of the Bellevue College Parent Education community. It has been our privilege to serve families for the past 60 years. While we are saddened to share that the Parent Education Program has permanently closed, effective June 30, 2026, we are deeply grateful for the generations of families, educators, and community members who made this program so meaningful.
We are pleased to share that four of our formerly affiliated cooperative preschools will continue serving families as independent organizations. To learn more about their programs, please visit:
These schools continue the tradition of providing high-quality, play-based early learning experiences. Research consistently shows that play is one of the most effective ways for young children to learn and grow. Through rich, hands-on experiences, children develop the foundations for literacy, mathematics, science, art, and music while also strengthening their creativity, physical development, emotional well-being, and social skills.
What makes cooperative preschools especially unique is the partnership between families and educators. By participating in the classroom, parents gain valuable insight into their child’s learning and development while building skills they can reinforce at home. Families also become part of a supportive community that celebrates successes, shares challenges, and grows together. Parent education classes continue to provide evidence-based guidance on child development, positive parenting, and family well-being.
Although Bellevue College’s Parent Education Program has come to a close, we are confident that these independent cooperative preschools will continue the tradition of nurturing children, empowering parents, and strengthening our community.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your family’s journey. We wish you and your children every success in the years ahead.
