Mossy Puddle is a licensed, full-day preschool in Belfair for children ages 2 to 6. Small groups, low ratios, and time outside every day, whatever the weather is doing.

We don't rush children. Some need more support, some need more time, and some need a different kind of setting than the one they've been in. All of that is welcome here. We accept subsidies.

Come see the space and meet us before you decide.

Why Mossy Puddle

What makes us different

Mossy Puddle is a licensed in home, full-day preschool in Belfair for children ages 2 to 6. We keep one small mixed-age group with two to three teachers, so ratios stay low and children work with familiar adults all year. Days follow a consistent rhythm and include outdoor time in every season. Our teaching draws on training in early childhood development, sensory processing, and individualized instruction, and we serve a range of learners. Subsidies accepted. We welcome you to visit before you enroll.

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.
