Oly Bear Preschool

Welcome to Oly Bear Preschool

A happy place to learn and grow since 1979.

In Oly Bear Preschool, every child receives high-quality one-on-one attention from Early Childhood Ed. students at Olympia High School. Under the guidance of the Preschool Director and Early Childhood Ed. Teacher, children learn and play with their high-school buddies, exploring art, science, literacy, and movement. The morning program is for 3.5- and 4-year-olds, and the afternoon program is for Pre-K / 4- and 5-year-olds. 

Oly Bear Preschool is managed by the Olympia High School and the school district's Career & Technical Education department. The Preschool was established in 1979 as a learning lab for the Olympia High School ECE program. Learn more about the ECE program in this video, made for high school students: link.
