Where Little Learners Set Sail for Success

---

Our experienced educators leverage research-based teaching practices alongside play-based learning to create engaging experiences for every child. Through our strong community partnership with families, specialists, and the Anacortes School District, we provide high-quality pre-k education that offers individualized support, helping children build skills, independence, and confidence.

At Anchors Away Pre-K, our mission is to provide high-quality pre-k education within a welcoming, inclusive environment where every child feels a sense of belonging. We value community partnership as we work together with families to inspire curiosity, foster independence, and equip children with the skills and confidence they need for kindergarten and beyond through play-based learning.

Families choose Anchors Away Pre-K because we offer more than just high-quality pre-k education—we foster a caring community partnership where children are encouraged to engage in play-based learning, explore, grow, and develop a strong foundation for lifelong success.

Kindergarten Readiness

From our Playgroup program for 2-year-olds through our high-quality pre-k education classrooms, each year intentionally builds on the skills learned in the previous year. As children grow, they develop confidence, independence, and leadership while encouraging and supporting one another.

Through developmentally appropriate, play-based learning, children build a strong foundation in literacy, math, problem-solving, and social-emotional development.

Small Class Sizes

Small class sizes allow our educators to build meaningful relationships with every child, provide individualized support, and create learning experiences that nurture each child's unique strengths and developmental needs.

Onsite Speech, Occupational & Physical Therapy

Through our community partnership with the Anacortes School District, eligible children have access to onsite speech, occupational, and physical therapy services within their preschool environment. This collaborative approach helps ensure children receive the specialized support they need while learning alongside their peers.

Inclusive Learning

Children of all abilities engage in play-based learning together in a welcoming classroom where kindness, respect, and belonging are part of every day. This high-quality pre-k education ensures that every child feels valued and included.

Community Partnership with the Anacortes School District

We are dedicated to a community partnership that collaborates to provide inclusive early learning opportunities and specialized services, supporting every child's success in their educational journey.

Family Partnerships

We focus on building strong relationships with families through open communication, shared goals, and a commitment to nurturing each child's growth and development.
