Grandview House Preschool enrolls children from 18 months through TK/Kindergarten entry and offers part-time and full-time options. The program is open 12 months of the year and open year round, and it offers a summer camp program for toddler programs through entry into first grade. Programs and enrichment are described as supporting language development, cultural awareness, movement, creativity, and early childhood growth, with a kindergarten based curriculum and an evidence-based curriculum designed to support each child’s growth and help prepare students for a successful transition to Kindergarten. The teaching style is described as warm, intentional, and child-centered, using a play-based, developmentally appropriate approach that blends structured learning with hands-on exploration. The program notes low student to teacher ratios, free developmental assessments provided annually, and that non potty trained children are welcome in the toddlers and monkeys classrooms only. It is described as an inclusive community where all are welcome, with open communication with parents.

The leadership team includes director Lena Haiek. The program’s mission statement is that the wish for every child is that they feel loved, valued, and inspired each day, exploring with joy, laughing often, and growing ready for the adventures of elementary school. Grandview House Preschool aligns with NAEYC standards and operates under License #198021591 and License #198019591. The North Pacific Avenue preschool location is described as a trusted campus often chosen through family referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations, with a larger campus feel for families who prefer more space, and drop-off located in front of the school with parking available in designated spots. It is described as a strong option for families looking for a preschool before age 2, with programs available for children as young as 18 months, and as offering a warm, child-centered learning environment. The community includes Armenian students and teachers and offers cultural enrichment.

One parent, H.B., reports that their child’s teachers are extremely warm and caring, that their child developed relationships with them quickly, and that classroom cameras help when they miss their child, who is described as happy to attend each morning. Another parent, Linda Petrossian, describes the staff as wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable, mentions great kids-centered events, and notes that both of her daughters attended Grandview Preschool and that her older child still talks about the experience fondly. A third parent, S.M., notes choosing Grandview House’s summer curriculum for a balance of “work and play,” and mentions the open play area, healthy organic meal plan, organized classroom setting, the director Lena being energetic and fantastic with kids, and open communication with parents.
