CSWS envisions a community where all children are honored and respected as naturally capable, curious, and creative beings. 0 0 771597 41661 868059 The Community School of West Seattle (CSWS) is a creative, exploratory and play-based preschool that each year serves 85 children between 3-5 years old, and their families. Additionally we run a weekly program one day a week called "Messy Play Day" which is for 1.5 - 3 year olds and their caregiver. Messy Play Day introduces children to the school environment and gives them safe, age appropriate opportunities to have autonomy and explore. At CSWS we believe play is the vital work of childhood and that young children learn by doing. Through authentic, emergent, project and play-based learning, the school strives to develop each student socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, so that every child will gain a sense of self and life-long confidence. The school's multi-age and anti-bias approach allows children to learn from, and support each other. We are inspired by Reggio philosophy and the Project Approach as foundations for our work with children. Families are an integral part of the school. We provide educational offerings to families as a way to strengthen our community and support the school as a whole, volunteer opportunities and events. CSWS is committed to anti-bias, social justice, and racial equity, including our work in the community, our work with families and our work with children. As an early learning provider, we have the potential to provide a foundation on which to build future opportunities for all children who enter our school, and throughout our community. Financially, we are committed to running a lean organization so that we can keep tuition costs reasonably low for families while still being fiscally responsible to our operation costs and providing a fair and livable wage for our staff. To ensure access for as many families as possible, CSWS commits at least $40,000 a year to scholarships to assist families with tuition costs. We are committed to excellence in early childhood education for all children. 0 0 0 771597 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Christine Deppe 2067632081 9450 22nd Ave SW Seattle WA 98106 Vanessa Longacre President 5 X X 0 0 0 Marissa Chavez Treasurer/Vice President 2 X X 0 0 0 Kristin Hutchinson Member At Large 3 X 570 0 0 Stephanie Latif Member at Large 2 X 0 0 0 Marian Fink Member at Large 2 X 0 0 0 Jess Andre Member at Large 2 X 0 0 0 Dalene King Secretary 3 X X 0 0 0 Amy Zimerman Interim Executive Director 40 X 0 0 0 Farah Ware Center Director 40 X X 55024 0 0 55594 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 9490 0 0 15827 13472 25317 Preschool Program 624410 868059 868059 0 0 0 0 0 0 868059 372 0 0 372 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11459 9490 18186 -6727 0 -6727 Yearbook Sales 452000 480 0 480 0 T-Shirt Sales 452000 40 0 40 0 CD Sales 452000 230 0 230 0 0 0 0 0 750 887771 868059 750 -6355 0 0 41661 41661 52452 20981 26226 5245 537072 483365 48336 5371 52065 44950 6251 864 55797 47827 6972 998 1035 1035 2951 2951 11374 2698 8584 92 2885 2885 32765 28493 4272 2965 2669 296 73511 66160 7351 4209 3788 421 18690 16821 1869 4602 3662 940 Continuing Education 989 989 0 0 Licenses and Dues 4024 3622 402 Donation to other Non-Profits 336 336 0 0 Volunteer gifts 771 690 81 0 900154 771597 115987 12570 69941 83212 204969 295341 0 3118 0 0 0 0 850 850 3660 3616 911286 135175 734341 776111 1016879 1159130 25089 32927 87438 53386 447610 628458 560137 714771 X 0 0 0 0 456742 444359 456742 444359 1016879 1159130 -12383 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 449000 0 449000 141000 269778 114116 296662 0 0 0 0 41575 0 11908 29667 9933 0 9151 782 776111 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 All publications include diversity, equity and inclusion as values of our school community.
