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. 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 families and children. 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 accepts all state and city subsidies as week as partner with Seattle Preschool Program to provide an entire low-cost preschool classroom. 1230128 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 25 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true false false X LUPITA COVARRUBIAS 2067632081 9540 22ND AVE SW SEATTLE WA 98106 LUPITA COVARRUBIAS Director 40.00 0.00 X 55100 0 0 WHITNEY YOUNG Director 30.00 0.00 X 26364 0 0 KAT KRUGER Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDREW SULLIVAN Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH BLOOM Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KATE MCMULLEN Director 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 81464 0 false false false 0 15805 24238 40043 PRESCHOOL PROGRAM 624410 1456236 1456236 1456236 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1496279 1456236 0 0 0 0 81463 69244 8146 4073 0 764999 688499 76500 0 136577 116090 13658 6829 86882 73850 8688 4344 0 756 756 4000 4000 0 0 0 0 50 50 36681 31179 3668 1834 8972 7626 897 449 0 117428 99814 11743 5871 0 0 9519 8091 952 476 58914 50077 5891 2946 0 22672 19271 2267 1134 8748 4374 4374 PROGRAM CONTRACTORS 63168 53693 6317 3158 Printing and Publications 5434 4619 543 272 Payroll Expenses 4295 3651 429 215 0 1410558 1230128 148829 31601 4826 6652 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1208560 221456 783186 987104 0 0 0 0 161087 788012 1154843 528384 776891 39100 31809 567484 808700 X 220528 346143 220528 346143 788012 1154843 X 85721 39894 X false false false X 449000 449000 668037 200745 467292 90694 19882 70812 829 829 987104 WCRA RESERVE 161087 161087 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b There are no committees of the board.
