Mossy Puddle is a licensed, full-day preschool for children ages 2–6. Small group sizes, low ratios, daily outdoor time, and a commitment to inclusion — including children who need more support, more time, or a different kind of environment to thrive.

We accept subsidies, we keep our ratios low, and we don't rush children. If you're looking for the best for your child in Belfair, this is it.

Why Mossy Puddle

What makes us different

Mossy Puddle is a licensed in-home preschool with intentionally small group sizes. Every child is known, supported, and valued.

We focus on emotional regulation before academics because children learn best when they feel safe and connected. As children grow, academic activities are tailored to their individual needs and readiness—not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Small groups make all the difference.

The Approach

Waldorf-inspired

Reverence for childhood, steady daily rhythms, imaginative play, and gentle conflict resolution. Children are not rushed through stages.


Nature-based

Daily outdoor time, natural materials, and a relationship with the land and weather. Located off East Rasor Road in a quiet, nature-connected setting.

Inclusive

Every child belongs as they are. Sensory-friendly spaces, communication support, and individualized approaches.

Academics

Academics are woven naturally into our days through play, stories, and hands-on experiences. We use Orton-Gillingham based phonics instruction to build strong early literacy skills, and our small group size allows lessons to be tailored to each child's level. With a background in mathematics, Jana also incorporates number sense, problem-solving, and critical thinking in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.


Potty Training

We are happy to help with the potty training process.
