ECEAP is tuition free for qualified families, funded by Washington state for children 3 and 4 years old. Children are eligible for ECEAP based on their age and family income.

Bellevue preschool programs offer students an introduction to a variety of world languages. Early childhood introduction creates a foundation for global awareness and cultural appreciation. Introduction to world languages includes:

• Early Language Exposure: All classrooms incorporate mini language lessons to introduce children to diverse languages.
• Creative Curriculum Approach: Using the adaptive Creative Curriculum framework, our classrooms weave songs, stories and interactive activities into daily routines.
• Focus on Global Awareness: Depending on the focus of the school program and the languages spoken by our diverse staff, students are exposed to one or more languages throughout the year, fostering a global perspective and appreciation for different cultures.
• Kindergarten Pathways: As students prepare for kindergarten, they have the opportunity to apply for specialized choice programs. These programs offer greater in-depth language learning in Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic, allowing them to continue their exciting multilingual journeys.
