Emmanuel Day School is an independent, non-profit, non-religious preschool on Mercer Island. We aim to create the best possible “first school experience” and zest for learning and life. Learn more about our classes, teachers, community on our website or come by for a visit. At EDS, we are an intentional play-based school and focus on experiential learning. We host an amazing variety of special visitors: everything from the reptile man to the Seattle Opera, Woodland Park Zoo to theater, KidsQuest to naturalist classes. You’ll also find a close-knit community, with fun social events for the whole family. We teach our children the value of giving back through our EDS Cares Week, being healthy with our Fit Kids Jr week, and having fun through spirit weeks and pep rallies. And we have a comprehensive allergy policy and a flexible “accidents happen” potty training policy, since we know how stressful potty training your young child before preschool can be.
