Are you on the fence about enrolling your preschooler because of COVID19? Here are some testimonies from current families that might help alleviate some of your concerns.
"Socialization is so important at this young age, and after being cooped up for six months, we felt like our kiddo needed to experience some sense of "normalcy" again, even if it's in small doses. Catch the Son's teachers and staff have spent the last six months tirelessly researching and brainstorming the safest ways to reintroduce students back to the classroom, following in the footsteps of other successful local childcare facilities and following state and county health guidelines. And the school being a co-op allows me to experience firsthand all the steps CTS is taking to ensure peace-of-mind for me and my family. While I understand that these are scary and stressful times, this isn't just another daycare facility—it's a true preschool with dedicated, experienced teachers, and the small class sizes and extra safety precautions give me confidence and outweigh the potential COVID risk." - 3-Day Preschool Parent
"Catch the Son is doing a great job of using the Brightwheel app for contactless check in/out at school. We love the ease of scanning the QR code at the door so that our child can come into the building. Along with this, having staggered start times, and only having a couple of the classes in the building at the same time has been wonderful. I appreciate how they are taking the time and care to clean surfaces, bathrooms and toys multiple times a day to ensure they stay germ-free. I also like how the teachers and parent volunteers wear masks during the day. Our daughter doesn't seem to mind that things are different from the previous two years. She is just loving being at school with her friends." - BLUE Pre-K Parent
"These are crucial times for our kids to learn how to interact with others when they play and learn. The social skills that they are building in preschool are so important for our kids' early childhood development and future success in school. I cannot stress enough how pleased we are with CTS (and have been for years!). Our daughter is thriving, and excited to go to school. We cannot thank the teachers and staff enough for working so hard to make going to school happen this year. The joy, love, and learning that our daughter is presented with every day is irreplaceable. Thank you CTS!" - BLUE Pre-K Parent
WELCOME!
Catch the Son Preschool Celebrates over 30 years of
Learning & Growing in Whatcom County!
Catch the Son was started at Christ The Servant Lutheran Church in Bellingham, Washington, in 1985 to meet the needs of young families in our community and to provide a quality early childhood education program for young children. At that time, one teacher and 12 students met twice a week. Today, there are three teachers and 62 students meeting in five different sessions during the week.
Catch the Son Preschool is a parent cooperative school offering a Christian-based early learning program. Our program is based on the belief that children construct knowledge through exploration and hands-on experiences, and that families are a child's first teacher and our partner in education. Our cooperative model involves parents working closely with teachers as they volunteer regularly as teacher assistants, and take on a school or classroom job. In the classroom, teachers provide an environment that exposes children to literacy, math, science, physical fitness, music and arts, all while paying special attention to growing faith in God and relationships with one another.
Catch the Son is an outreach ministry of Christ the Servant Lutheran Church, responsible to the church council.
