Full Day Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten Programs in Bellevue, WA

Newport Children’s School in Bellevue Offers A Fun & Rewarding Education

Our private school program promotes a developing knowledge of scientific concepts (reflect and ask, plan and predict, act and observe, report and reflect) through real experiences such as playing in the mud, examining rocks and leaves, noticing the different sizes of shadows, sorting buttons or shapes and by recognizing similarities and differences in objects.

Our hands-on, science-based curriculum gives children a boost toward educational excellence while fostering curiosity, independence, self-reliance, and emotional maturity.

Our Program Hours

Our school is open year-round, Monday through Friday from 7am – 6pm. We offer several program options for you to choose from: before school extended care, curriculum hours, and after school extended care. We also offer extended care during many school vacations as well as a summer camp. You can choose to bring your child 2, 3, or 5 days a week anytime from 7am to 6pm - It’s totally up to you!

Learn More About Our Teachers
"Having NCS alongside our early parenting journey was invaluable.  Our eldest began attending at age 3, and our youngest started in the Toddler room at 12 months.  Due to the excellent learning environment and exceptional staff, we opted to enroll both our boys into the kindergarten program and each benefited greatly.  All of the staff/teachers we encountered have been wonderful and have enriched the lives of our boys.  In particular, Ms. Gina, who oversaw the care of our boys at Kids Club once they became school aged, provided exceptional personalized care and attention.  She went above and beyond to make sure our boys were safe and well and maintained regular communication with us about their well-being that gave us constant reassurance."
