"At BCP, we ignite curiosity, inspire creativity, and facilitate social and emotional development. We foster a lifelong community of support as our families and children learn through the magic and wonder of play."

BCP passionately envisions an environment in which children learn together through a diverse community. We ensure all families reach their fullest potential where:
-
Play-based experiences are child-led and unique to their development
-
Parents feel included, valued and empowered
-
Children have a voice in problem solving, risk taking and conflict resolution
-
The foundation is set for joyful, life-long learning
Our Classes
Burien Cooperative Preschool offers play-based classes for 1 to 5 year-olds.

Our Teachers
Teacher Danielle
"My name is Danielle, and I use she/her pronouns. I feel incredibly honored to be part of the Burien Cooperative Preschool community. I first discovered BCP in 2016 while working as a nanny for a family enrolled in the program, and I knew right away it was a place I hoped to one day call home. Since joining the teaching team in 2020, it has been a privilege to learn and grow alongside the children and families who make this community so special."
Teacher Alissa
"I am Alissa, and I use she/her/they/them pronouns. I was introduced to BCP in 2023 by an attending family and knew this place was something special! ​My background in psychology equips me with a deep understanding of child development, allowing me to create a nurturing and effective learning environment tailored to each child’s unique needs."
Teacher Rachelle
"Hello! My name is Rachelle (pronounced like Rachel) and I use she/they pronouns. I found Burien Coop after moving to the area and searching for a pre-school program that worked well with my oldest daughter. Even better, what I found is a place where both my girls and myself became part of an amazing community. My oldest graduated from being an Orca and has moved on to the bigger world of elementary school while my youngest continues her journey through BCP."
