About the Schools (Project Evergreen)
Project Evergreen is a meticulously cultivated, premium brand in early childhood education, operating six (6) centers across the Seattle. The Schools emerged from its founder's personal quest to find a childcare institution offering rigorous academic development combined with essential social-emotional nurturing—a critical market gap she identified. Unlike many standard preschools, these schools offers a comprehensive, full-service, year-round program (7:30am to 6:00pm) that includes all meals and extracurricular activities, providing unparalleled convenience.
This "best of both worlds" approach blends the professionalism and robust curriculum of a large provider with the authentic, community-focused feel of a boutique school. Today, the schools stands as a fully licensed educational center committed to delivering high-quality education in a supportive and secure environment, fostering deep trust and loyalty within the surronding communities.
